A teen couple allegedly committed suicide by hanging at the girl’s residence in Delhi’s Najafgarh, the Delhi Police said on Tuesday.
The cops added that the incident occurred in the Nagli area of Dwarka’s Najafgarh on Sunday evening.
”The two teenagers were in a relationship, which had earlier led to altercations between their families. The matter had reportedly escalated to legal proceedings but was later resolved through a mutual settlement,” a senior officer mentioned.
It was further added by him that “the bodies were discovered in a room of the girl’s house, and no external injuries were observed during the initial inspection. The room was locked from inside, and the police are currently treating the case as a suspected suicide.”
As part of the investigation, the bodies were sent for postmortem before being handed over to the families.
The exact cause of the deaths will be known only after the postmortem report is received, the officer said. The boy’s family, however, has alleged that the girl’s relatives were behind the deaths. They said the boy was called to the girl’s home as part of a conspiracy and murdered.
Further, it was alleged by the family that at the time of the settlement, the girl’s uncle had threatened to murder the boy.
“The matter is being probed from all possible angles,” the officer added.
