Mandya, Feb 9: A youth from Arechakanahalli village of Maddur taluk on Saturday allegedly committed suicide in Bengaluru after his lover got engaged to another man.
The body of the deceased, Darshan, was found hanging from the celising of his room in Bengaluru. According to Darshan's relatives, he was in love with a girl for the past few years.
Darshan had wanted to marry her, much to the chagrin of her parents, it is said.
The girl's parents had allegedly warned him of dire consequences if he did not stay clear from their daughter. In the meanwhile, she got engaged to another man.
Feeling left out, Darshan allegedly ended his life. In the suicide note, Darshan has held his lover and some of her relatives responsible for his death. He has also claimed that his family was facing death threat from her family.
There are rumours that Darshan might have been killed after he refused to stop seeing the girl. Though both the families are from the same community, their financial status, sources said, is different.
According to the relative of Darshan, the girl is a close relative to a former minister from Mandya district.
"There are reasons to suspect that Darshan might have been murdered, and a suicide note may have been planted at the crime spot.
A proper investigation should be conducted to unearth the truth," he said.
