“It’s quite possible that the girl and boy became nervous and, apprehending some extreme action from the girl’s family, they hanged themselves to death in the same room of the rented house. The boy and the girl were found hanging separately in the same room on Sunday morning, after which we sent the bodies for autopsy. Prima facie, it seems to be a case of suicide by the two teenagers. Further investigation is underway,” a Jabalpur district police officer told on Monday.A Uttar Pradesh police sub-inspector who accompanied the girl’s relatives to Jabalpur said, “The girl rang her brother on Saturday. Using surveillance mechanisms, we arrived at Panagar police station in Jabalpur on Sunday, where we were told by the police that the two teenagers who had eloped from Kanpur Dehat on 25 January had died by suicide. We subsequently went straight to the hospital mortuary.”(If you are having suicidal thoughts, or are worried about a friend or need emotional support, someone is always there to listen.
