Berhampur: A young woman allegedly committed suicide after being abandoned from her lover. The incident has occurred at Chandan Vihar under Bada Bazar Police Station in Berhampur.
Reportedly, the woman identified as Anjali Behera (24), a native of Dhaugan village in Dharakote block of Ganjam district, was working at a call centre. Her body was found hanging from the ceilling fan in a rented house at Chandan Vihar on Sunday. It is suspected that she committed suicide on Saturday.
As per the house owner, he reminds Anjali everyday to to turn off the outside light. Even on Saturday, he called her many times to turn off the lights, but as Anjali did not respond, he went away thinking that she must be sleeping tight.
Even on Sunday morning, the lights were on. The owner thought that Anjali must be not feeling well and left the place. As the lights were still on till 10 pm and Anjali was not responding, the house owner called her brother.
When Anjali’s brother Vicky Behera reached the rented house and opened the door, he found her hanging from the fan inside the house. He reported this to Bada Bazar Police. On receiving the news, the police came to the place at around midnight and seized a suicide note.
It was revealed that Anjali was in love with one of her colleagues identified as Surya. Both of them were also having a live-in relationship. However, after Surya’s family members opposed their relationship, quarrels started between them.
Anjali was left alone here after Surya got promoted and transferred to another district. As a result, the distance between both of them increased. They fought regularly as Surya was giving more importance to his family. Devastated by this, she decided to commit suicide.
In that suicide note, Anjali mentioned about her love life. She stated that she had married Surya without telling her family. However, his family members put up barriers and did not allow the two to stay together. As a result, he went away. For this, Anjali took the extreme step of suicide.
In the letter, she asked not to take any action against Surya and to perform her last rites like a married woman. However, police is yet to ascertain whether the letter was written personally by Anjali or not.
