On Tuesday night, a youth shot himself at his girlfriend’s house in
Bhopal as his girlfriend’s father asked him to “prove his love by killing
himself”. Police said Atul Lokhande, vice-president of the Bharatiya
Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) for Arera Mandal went to the woman’s
house around 9.30 pm and shot himself in the head with a country
made revolver. He was declared brain dead by doctors and is now on
ventilator.
His father allegedly promised to let their marriage happen if the youth
survived, and if he did not, they could always unite in their next birth.
Atul’s family members want a case of abetment to suicide to be
registered against the family of his girlfriend.
