RAJKOT: Realizing that there was no future to their relationship, a couple ended their lives by consuming pesticides in Goij village of Khambhalia taluka in Devbhoomi Dwarka district on Wednesday night.
The deceased were identified as Mahendra Vijhoda (22) and Bhumi Madam (19). Mahendra used to work as a farm labourer.
According to police, while Mahendra belonged to Dalit community from Goij village, Bhumi was an Ahir from Kothavisotri village of Khambhalia taluka.

“Bhumi’s family members were dead against the relationship, owing to Mahendra’s lower-caste origins. Both knew that they will never succeed in getting her parents to agree to their marriage and so they decided to end their lives,” an official from Salaya police station said.
“In their suicide note, the couple wrote: ‘We love each other, and as we can’t get united, we have decided to end our lives.’ The lovelorn duo was found tied to each other’s legs with the girl’s dupatta while an empty bottle of pesticide was found lying near the spot,” the official added.
