Chennai: Unable to manage relationship pressure and failure, two girls from Kancheepuram and Chengalpattu have killed themselves in the past two days. Cases have been filed in the district police stations and investigations are on.
According to police, D. Jeeva (21) a resident of Kalakattur, was allegedly in love with Kannan (22) working as a technician in an IT company at Oragadam. A month ago Jeeva's parents got to know about their daughter's affair with Kannan. They were against it since the boy is from a lower caste. They advised their daughter against the relationship and Jeeva had stopped meeting or talking with Kannan, said sources.
All efforts of Kannan to contact Jeeva for the past one month went in vain and he finally resorted to blackmailing her. On Tuesday morning, Kannan uploaded their intimate photos in three different WhatsApp groups of which both Kannan and Jeeva are participants. Jeeva allegedly locked her room and committed suicide on Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile, Damodaran lodged a complaint with Magaral police station. A case has been registered and police are searching for Kannan who absconded on hearing about Jeeva's suicide.

She was allegedly in love with a man and was often seen roaming around with him on his bike near her college. On Sunday, her parents confronted Monisha about her affair and advised her to break up with her boyfriend. An upset Monisha went to bed and went to college the next day at 7.30 am in the morning as usual. On Monday, Monisha who usually returns by 5 pm every day did not reach home on time.
