Angry Boyfriend Strangles Teen Girlfriend To Death After She Forced Him To Marry Her

A 17-year-old girl was allegedly strangled to death by her boyfriend on Monday, August 2, after she forced him to marry her. The teen’s body was discovered the next day, abandoned near the railway tracks.

According to the police, the deceased teen, who will not be named as she is a minor, left her home in Alwal of Hyderabad, India, on Monday morning.

While her family members waited for her to return home, her boyfriend’s teen friend approached the police and reported that the latter had told him about killing the girl.

Based on the lead, officers nabbed the 18-year-old suspect, identified as Deepak in the early hours of Tuesday. During interrogation, the suspect confessed to killing his girlfriend and dumping her body.

Deepak then led the investigators to the bushes adjacent to the railway track behind the Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) quarters near Loyola College in Alwal, where he had abandoned the girl’s body.

"Deepak met the victim at 1 pm on Monday and took her to an isolated spot adjacent to the railway track. After an argument, he strangulated the victim with her stole," a Times of India report quoted Alwal inspector, A. Gangadhar as saying.

The suspect told the investigators that he was in a relationship with the girl for about a year and had recently started avoiding her.

"As the victim started pressurizing for marriage, he killed her," the police official said.

The suspect is now facing murder charges, Alwal police said.

In a similar but unrelated incident, a 19-year-old college student, a resident of Kurla in Mumbai, India, hanged himself to death after his alleged girlfriend refused his marriage proposal.

The boy’s mother got worried after he failed to answer her calls. She then called up her neighbors and asked them to check on the boy.

The neighbors went to the home and found the teen hanging from the ceiling. The boy had reportedly used a leather belt to hang himself to death, local media reported.

Police officers were dispatched to the boy’s residence after his mother alerted the authorities about the suicide.

"Our probe found that the deceased had, before the incident, initiated a video chat with the girl, from his college itself, to show her that he was ready to end his life over the rejection of the marriage proposal. An accidental death case has been registered and further probe is underway," a police official said.
