ARA/PATNA: The body of an 18-year-old girl was found near a railway track barely 500m from a police station in Bhojpur district around 5am on Saturday. Hours later, a 20-year-old youth, said to be the girl’s boyfriend, committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan at his house.
Police said Mukesh Kumar killed himself fearing his arrest in connection with the murder of his girlfriend Ratan Kumari, whose half-naked body was found in haystack at a village under Tiyar police station.
The body bore bullet injuries on the neck. Both bodies were sent to Ara Sadar Hospital for autopsy.
The girl’s family had suspected the involvement of Mukesh, resident of a neighbouring village in the district and had named in the FIR lodged by the family. A police team reached Mukesh’s village soon only to find him dead.
Mukesh’s uncle, mukhiya of the local panchayat, told police that Mukesh must have committed suicide after he came to know that his name figured in the FIR.
“Pieces of hay were found stuck in Mukesh’s clothes indicating his presence at the spot where the girl’s body was found early morning on Saturday,” Bhojpur SP Sushil Kumar said.
The SHO of Tiyar police station, Harendra Prasad, said Mukesh was named in the FIR lodged by the girl’s brother. A love affair is stated to be the reason behind the incident. The police are yet to recover the murder weapon.
Police said the girl’s body was first spotted by some people on their way to catch a train at Sikariya railway station under Danapur railway division. They informed Jagdishpur SDPO Shyam Kishore Ranjan.
The SDPO said bloodstains were found at the spot, adding an FSL team has collected evidence and the forensic report is awaited.
