Nizamabad: A couple, unable to tolerate the character assassination by their family, died by suicide on Tuesday. The woman, before taking the extreme step, sent a video clip to the police.
The deceased, Bandaru Anil Kumar, 28 and Sailaja of Hegdoli village in Kotagiri mandal, died by suicide at the railway track between Fakirabad and Mittapally on Monday night.
According to the police, the couple, married last year, left home on Monday after informing the family members that they were going for an interview for private jobs.
Sailaja along with her husband sent the selfie video to Kotagiri SI Sandeep, saying they would die suicide at the Godavari river at Yamcha.
The SI forwarded the video clip and cell phone number to his counterpart in Navipet. Police searched for the couple at Yamcha, but could not trace them. Tracking their mobile numbers, police found the bodies on the railway track.
In a video clip, the woman said she committed a 'mistake' last year and it was forgotten by her husband and in-laws. “My aunt repeatedly spreading the incident among relatives and friends,” she said.
Despite repeated requests, the aunt did not change her attitude, she lamented. Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, Nizamabad railway sub-inspector H.Sai Reddy said the bodies were shifted to Government General Hospital for post mortem.
