A 19-year-old man and his alleged girlfriend, a 16-year-old, were found hanging in a thatched shed in Tamil Nadu’s Mayiladuthurai district on Tuesday. The man\u2019s relatives alleged that the couple were killed by the girl\u2019s family over a matter of family honour.<\/p>\n
While the man was working as a mason, the minor, who was a resident of a nearby village, had recently completed Class 12 and was preparing to join college.<\/p>\n
They were reportedly in a relationship, which led to tensions between the two sides as the girl’s family opposed it.<\/p>\n
The purported teen couple were found hanging inside a thatched shed on land belonging to a man identified as Kumaravel.<\/p>\n
Upon discovering the two bodies, locals alerted the police. More than 30 police personnel were subsequently rushed to the spot.<\/p>\n
As the man and the girl belonged to different communities, senior police officials reached the scene to supervise the investigation and prevent any law and order issues.<\/p>\n
The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination. The man’s relatives have demanded a thorough probe into the case, insisting that the deaths were the result of honour killing.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the girl’s family alleged that members of the opposite side vandalised vehicles and damaged a house following the incident. Further investigation into the case is underway.<\/p>\n
