Mangaluru, Oct 27: A teenage girl from Kerala has allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself to the ceiling fan at an apartment in the city.
According to police, Anupama, 19, who was pursuing nursing course in the city, resorted to the extreme step on Friday over soured relationship.
Anupama and her boyfriend Alan Tony moved to an apartment in Attavar around a year ago, informing the owner that they were engaged. The relationship turned sour two months ago.
Police said Alan got employed outside the state and Anupama would call him, seeking to know if they could be married.
“The victim called Alan on Friday evening and said that she would commit suicide if he did not marry her. Alan immediately called the owner of the house to check the apartment. The owner rushed to her apartment, but the door was locked. By the time they could break open the door, they found the victim hanging to a ceiling fan. She has blamed the boy for the extreme act,” an officer investigating the case said.
A case under Indian Penal Code Section 306 (abetment of suicide) has been registered at Mangaluru South police station.
