In the video, Swain has alleged that he was forced to commit suicide after the girl ditched him and decided to marry another guy. "The girl was ignoring me for the last one month and informed me that she decided to marry another guy. I urge everybody not to love anyone," Swain stated in the video, police said
While he proposed the girl, she refused to marry him and treated him as stranger. He found no other way to lead his life than commit suicide, his suicidal note stated.
His family members have, however, alleged murder. “We had spoken with the girl over phone and had asked her to convince her parents as she was from a different caste. My son has been murdered as the girl had asked him to visit a particular place yesterday,” said Manoj’s father Nimai.
