Jhansi: A young woman hanged herself in village Khaira of Thana Raksa yesterday when her father went to the boy’s house to fix the date of her marriage. It is being told that the young man is threatening the young woman by having a love affair with a nearby young man and when the marriage is fixed.
Babulal lives with his family in village Khaira on the Imalia-Rajapur road, about 15 kilometers from Thana Raksa. They have 4 children. The eldest son is Bharat. He has youngest daughter Abhilasha (18), daughter Sakshi (15) and youngest son Raj (12). Babulal told that the eldest son is married and has two children. The relationship of his younger daughter Abhilasha was fixed in village Karguvan. Last day, he had gone to the house of the boy’s parents to fix the date of marriage. The elder son went to work. His wife, daughter and son had gone to the farm.
At home were daughter Abhilasha and daughter-in-law Aarti. The daughter-in-law had put one child to sleep and had gone to the Anganwadi Center to take ration with the other. She came back from there at around 2 pm then Abhilasha was hanging on the noose in the room. Seeing this, she screamed and people around came. By then he had died. The Raksha police removed the body from the gallows and sent it to the medical college for post-mortem after filling the panchnama. Father Babulal, saddened by his daughter’s death in the postmortem house, said that his daughter had passed the high school examination two years ago. After this he could not study further due to financial constraints.
He said that a young man living near the house used to talk to his daughter, about whom he had explained to both of them about a month ago, but the young man did not agree and Abhilasha committed suicide on his threats. He said that the accused youth is absconding since the incident. He has demanded action against the accused. On the other hand, Raksha Police said that no complaint has been received from the victim’s family yet.
The mobile phone was found near the girl
When the police found the dead body of the girl, they found a mobile phone from her, which the police took into custody. The father said that his daughter did not have a mobile phone. He suspected that the said mobile phone must have been given to his daughter by the young man, so that he kept talking to her and when the date of marriage was fixed, he must have threatened her and due to this the daughter committed suicide by hanging herself.
