The sari which was used for the act was found to be knotted into a noose even on its other end, which arouse suspicions that Vignesh might have pretended to attempt suicide to push his wife to do the same.

Vignesh (24), from Aranthangi in Pudukkottai district,  is a civil engineer by profession. Priya, was pursuing BSc in nursing. The duo had an affair since their school days, but as they belonged to different castes, their families had objected their marriage. They got married in Ooty. After wandering in different places for 8 months, they came to Ambalamogaru in January this year and stayed in a rented house.

Priya’s parents said that as they belonged to lower caste and Vignesh was from upper caste, his parents and other villagers had beaten them up after the couple eloped. They were thrown out of the village as they were the only lower caste family in the vicinity. They were forced to live 40 km outside the village, they said. “We had 4.5 acres of land but we were not allowed to stay there”, they revealed.

A case of kidnap has been registered against the boy at the local police station.

Priya’s parents claimed that the marks on Priya’s body had indicated that she was strangled to death and hanged later. They alleged that after committing the act, Vignesh gathered his clothes and belongings and left the house after locking it up from outside.

They urged that Vignesh be arrested and punished severely.

After the post mortem, womens body was handed over to her parents. The last rites were held at crematorium in Nandigudda.
