Separated from married woman, WB teen ends life

Surat: A teenager in Surat gave up his life on Monday because he was separated from a married woman with whom he was infatuated with in his native village in West Bengal.
The 16-year-old boy was found hanging at his maternal uncle’s house in Sachin where he was sent around a month ago when his parents found about his infatuation for the woman.
The boy’s 19-year-old brother told police that he used to meet the woman daily and not do any work. When his parents confronted him, he admitted that he was involved with the woman. The boy’s parents asked him to cut-off all relations with the woman and never to meet him. But when he refused to obey, his parents sent him to Surat to his maternal uncle’s home.
The boy found labour work at a garment stitching unit nearby but always remained depressed. “The boy used to remain sad and depressed over the separation, so on Monday morning he hanged himself from an iron beam when nobody was present at home,” said a police official.
He added that a neighbour noticed from outside that he was hanging and informed the boy’s uncle. When his uncle reached home, the boy had already succumbed.
Later police were informed and a case of accidental death was registered at Sachin police station.
