In what appears to be a suicide pact, two Class 10 students reportedly set each other ablaze on Sunday night after consuming liquor. The incident occurred in Telangana’s Jagtiyal town, about 190 km from Hyderabad, police said on Monday.

The students allegedly took this step following a clash over an affair with the same girl who is a student of the same school as the two deceased students. They allegedly poured petrol before setting each other on fire according to the police.

Both the students were aged 16. The investigators found beer bottles and mobile phones at the scene.

K Mahender died on the spot while Ravi Teja, who sustained critical injuries, died at a hospital.

However, adding a new twist to the case, the families of the two boys claim that a third boy was also present at the scene which the police were trying to verify.

Mahender and Ravi were classmates at a missionary school and both were allegedly in love with the same girl, the police said.

The investigators were analysing mobile phone data of the deceased and trying to find out if it was a murder or suicide.
