Month before wedding, woman, lover commit suicide in UP's Kaushambi

Two young lovers allegedly hanged themselves to death in their respective houses here, a month before the woman's wedding to someone else, police said on Saturday.

The incident took place on Friday in Ramchaura village under the Kokhraj police station area here, they said.

Both deceased were residents of the same village, the police said.

Komal was scheduled to get married to someone else on June 19, following which, the couple feared they would not be able to meet each other again, officials said.

Their bodies were found hanging from ceiling fans inside their homes on Friday morning, the police said.

Family members of both the deceased told police that they were unaware of their relationship and said the tragedy could have been avoided had they known about the affair.

Circle Officer Sirathu Satyendra Tiwari said police reached the spot after receiving information and sent the bodies for post-mortem examination.

''The matter is being investigated, and further legal action is being taken. Statements of family members are also being recorded,'' the officer said.
