PATNA: Barely four days before her marriage, a girl along with her boyfriend allegedly committed suicide at Ruchaul village under the Pandaul police station area in Madhubani district.
The matter came to light after their bodies were found floating on Jham Das pokhar (pond) in the village on Sunday morning, which were fished out and identified to be of a youth Akshay Kumar (20) and a girl Hema Kumari (19) who were neighbours.
Madhubani SP Satya Prakash said that the girl and the boy were missing since Friday but none of their family members had reported the incident to police. “There were no external injury marks on the bodies. Prima facie it seems both had committed suicide after their family members refused their proposal for marriage,” he said.
Pandaul police station SHO Shankar Kumar said that Hema’s family members had fixed her marriage with another boy.

SHO Rajeev Kumar said the infant was admitted to sadar hospital for treatment after being rescued.
