In a shocking and tragic incident, a 21-year-old man died after he allegedly blew himself up with a gelatin stick in front of his girlfriend’s house after the latter’s family rejected his marriage proposal.
The incident took place at Kalenahalli village on Sunday morning. The deceased has been identified as Ramachandra (21), a native of Nagamangala area of Karnataka’s Mandya city.
According to police, Ramachandra was in relationship with a minor girl. Last year, he was booked under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act after he eloped with the girl. He was arrested in the case and spent three months in jail as an under-trial, according to news agency PTI.
Following his release from jail after three months, Ramachandra reportedly reconciled with the girl’s family, and the legal case against him was dismissed.
However, the two continued their relationship in secret. Apparently, the girl’s family was planning to get the girl married to someone else once she attained the legal age, a senior police officer said.
Ramachandra, reportedly angered by the girl’s family’s rejection, appeared in front of the minor girl’s house and triggered the gelatin stick he had with him, causing an explosion that instantly claimed his life.
Based on the complaint from the deceased person’s family, calling it suspicious death, a case has been registered, police said. His family was in quarrying business and that’s how he got access to gelatin stick, police said.
