Bengaluru: Youth forced to get married, hangs self

Ajay's parents wanted him to get married though he was not ready.

Bengaluru: Angry with his parents for asking him to get married, a 25-year-old man hanged himself from a tree in a grove near Mullur village in Varthur police limits on Tuesday morning.

The deceased, Ajay Singh, was from Madhya Pradesh and had shifted to Mullur village a few years ago along with his family.

He was working at a tiles shop near his residence. As Ajay was working hard and making enough money, his parents over the last few months started looking for a girl for him to get married. But he kept telling them that he did not want to get married immediately.

Ajay’s parents started showing him some photos of girls over the last few weeks and insisted that he get married by early 2018. When Ajay returned home from work on Monday night, his parents again showed him more photos.

Ajay stormed out of the house around 10 pm and did not return the entire night. On Tuesday morning, a few passersby spotted Ajay hanging from a tree and informed his parents. A complaint was registered at the Varthur police station and the body was sent to a hospital for postmortem.
