Bengaluru: Two women allegedly died by suicide after hanging themselves from a tree outside a hotel in Shivanahalli on Jakkur Road in Yelahanka, Bengaluru, on Thursday, reportedly after their families opposed their relationship.
According to police, the deceased were identified as Sirjana, 22, and Rita, 23, both natives of Nepal. They were relatives, had studied together, and had lived together since childhood. After a few years, they reportedly fell in love. However, their relationship was allegedly not accepted by their parents and relatives.
In an attempt to separate them, the families brought them to Bengaluru about a month ago and allegedly kept them in two different hostels. Rita was staying in Fraser Town, while Sirjana was staying in Jakkur, a few kilometres away.
Despite the separation, the two reportedly met three or four times a week. However, unable to bear the separation and the alleged disapproval of their relationship, they reportedly took the extreme step.
A case has been registered, and police have recorded statements from their family members and relatives to ascertain the circumstances that led to the deaths. Further investigation is underway.
