Vadodara: A 24-year-old man was arrested by Waghodiya police on Wednesday for allegedly kidnapping his teenage girlfriend and conspiring suicide last week.
The police said that on October 7, the 17-year-old girl left her home at night with the pretext of taking water for housework from a handful pump.
He did not return home until late at night and the next day his body was found in the Narmada Canal near the village.
While the police were investigating death, they picked up his girlfriend Pritesh Parmar to be questioned.
During the interrogation, Parmar told the police that he had promised the girl that they would get married.
They have decided to escape and get married.
However, on October 7, things did not change as expected and Parmar threw it away.
“There were several arguments between the two and the defendant left him alone and left.
The girl was quite depressed and he decided to take extreme steps,” said a police officer.
The girl was suspected of committing suicide by jumping into the canal.
The police registered a violation of abduction, kidnapped him to force him to marry and commit suicide based on the complaint given by the girl’s father on Tuesday.
