Representative imageJAIPUR: An couple allegedly committed suicide in Bhilwara on Sunday and according to preliminary investigation, the two were in an illicit relationship as the minor girl was already married. The two had gone missing from their homes two days ago.
The deceased youth was identified as 20-year-old Raju Keer while the 16-year-old girl’s name was not divulged by the cops.
Vikarm Sevawat, SHO, Shakhargarh police station, where the case was registered said, “The two had been missing for the last two days and their bodies were found in the field in their village on Sunday morning. Prima facie, the two died after consuming a poisonous substance, though the autopsy report will confirm the cause of death.”
Cops found no suicide note and the official said, “The girl was married and seems that the two were in an extramarital relationship though the family has not been able to confirm the same.”
While cops are investigating the case, they are yet to find any concrete reason behind the double suicide.
“We will question the families of both the deceased as well as other villagers to get more details. As the girl was already married, the most possible cause behind the double suicide appears to be the fact that they could not continue their relationship. Also, both were from the same community,” the SHO said.
Cops found nothing suspicious in the deaths as yet to indicate that there was foul play involved, though police claimed that they are not ruling out any possibilities.
The official further added that the families of both the deceased denied any knowledge about the alleged relationship and have not raised any suspicions that it could be murder.
