MUMBAI: A 15-year-old girl and her 20-year-old male friend died by suicide on the railway tracks at Vikhroli on Sunday.
The police said the boy left behind a suicide note, which stated that the two were in a relationship, but the girl’s family opposed it. The Government Railway Police (GRP) have recorded the incident as an accidental death.
The couple had known each other for the past few months. Recently, the girl’s family had decided to send her to their hometown. Upon learning this, the boy visited her house on Sunday morning to speak with her father. However, the family did not change their decision, and he left.
Later, the girl left home without informing her parents. Her family went to the local police station to file a case of abduction against the boy, as they were aware of the close relationship between the two.
Around 1.50 pm, the couple jumped in front of the Garib Rath train at Vikhroli station, ending their lives.
A suicide note and a cellphone were recovered from the boy. The GRP notified their families after confirming their identities.
