Fatehpur, June 5 (). A 22-year-old man and his 20-year-old girlfriend were found hanging from the ceiling of a house in Uttar Pradesh’s Fatehpur district.
A senior police officer said the matter is being probed and it is not yet known why he took the extreme step.
The girl was living with her younger brother in a rented room, where she was preparing for competitive exams.
His parents were living in a village on the outskirts of the district.
Police said the youth worked as a driver and the two were distant relatives.
A police officer said, the youth reached the girl’s house to meet her. Later he locked himself in the room. Preliminary investigation suggests that they used a domestic LPG gas cylinder to gain access to the roof.
The girl’s brother, who was sleeping in the verandah, woke up hearing the cylinder fall and raised an alarm, he said. On receiving the information, the police rushed both of them to the nearest hospital, where they were declared brought dead.
