TIRUPUR: A 27-year-old woman took a selfie video on her mobile phone before committing suicide on the wedding day of her former boyfriend in Uthukuli in Tirupur district. In a short while, the three-minute video went viral on social media. In the video, the woman is said to have expressed her anguish over the break up with her boyfriend before committing suicide by hanging, police said.
While the young woman's family members were reluctant to lodge a police complaint, the rural police arrested her boyfriend a day after his marriage, allegedly for abetting the woman's suicide.
A few years ago, N Revathy, a resident of Morattupalayam in Uthukuli and a school dropout, worked in a photocopy shop in Gobichettipalayam in Erode district. She had a relationship with Kumar, 27, (name changed), of Vaniputhur in Erode, pursuing MBA in a private college. The relationship continued even after they began to work in Tirupur and it lasted for seven long years. Recently, they broke up following differences, said a police officer.
Kumar later decided to marry another woman who was a relative and an MPhil graduate. A distraught Revathy warned him against marrying another woman. Police said she frequently picked up fights with Kumar over the issue and a week before the wedding she demanded that he cancel it. But, Kumar refused to do so.
Due to certain superstitions, Revathy lived with her mother Pappathi in a rented house though they had their own house in Morattupalayam. On August 30, when Kumar's marriage was scheduled, Revathy went to her own house after informing her mother. When she failed to return, Pappathi went to the house only to find her hanging from the ceiling of a room, police said.
She had talked for three minutes, expressing her deep disappointment over the break up with Kumar. The video was doing the rounds in WhatsApp, and was seized by Uthukuli police. They arrested Kumar, now working as an executive of IFFCO Tokio general insurance company. He has been booked under section 306 of the IPC. He was arrested the day after his marriage and lodged in Coimbatore central jail.
