Two techies from Kerala allegedly killed themselves near Electronics City in Hebbagodi police limits following alleged parental opposition to their marriage. Their bodies, found hanging from a tree on November 29, were in a highly decomposed state.
The deceased have been identified as Abhijit Mohan, 25, and Srilakshmi S, 21. Both worked as junior software engineers with an IT major in Electronics City Phase II.
Since October 9, the duo had stopped accepting calls from their family members. After complaints were filed, police launched a search operation, but could only trace the couple’s mobile tower locations in Bengaluru. On November 23, a distraught Srilakshmi called and “thanked” her family for “troubling” them. Six days later, a shepherd found their bodies hanging from a tree.
Hailing from Thrissur in Kerala, the two had joined the IT major over a year ago. They were staying in different paying guest (PG) accommodations in Parappana Agrahara area. According to police, Abhijit and Srilakshmi were in love and wanted to get married. However, their families were against the relationship allegedly due to the caste difference. “The duo tried their best to convince the family members, but in vain. Srilakshmi’s uncle had threatened them with dire consequences,” police said, quoting their friends and colleagues.
In the first week of October, the duo had communicated to their families that they were marrying each other. “It caused a stir. Srilakshmi’s uncle allegedly threatened her that anything could happen if they chose to marry. He even warned of breaking the relationship,” sources said.
