Boy strangles girlfriend in lodge room, jumps in front of truck!

A 24-year-old guy allegedly killed his girlfriend in a lodge room suspecting her character before jumping in front of a truck to commit suicide on Sunday in Maharashtra, reports NDTV.

The accused, Vijay Kumar Harijan, has been charged for murder by police. He has fractured his leg and is admitted in the hospital, said the officials. He took his girlfriend Sandhya Harijan, a 22-year-old girl, to a hotel where they checked in earlier that afternoon. The couple were supposed to get married soon.

"Since a long time, Vijay Kumar was under the impression that Sandhya was cheating on him with someone else and was double crossing him. He was almost convinced that there was a third person in Sandhya's life so in order to take revenge, he opted for the option of killing her so he took a rope and strangled her. Later, he left the room leaving the body as it is and by evening, all attempt to reach out to him by the lodge staff failed. When they suspected something fishy, they used their spare key to open the room where they discovered the dead body after which they immediately alerted the police," said the officials.

Sandhya was rushed to the hospital but she was declared dead on arrival. Police also suspect that she was sexually assaulted before being murdered. The post-mortem report is yet to be received and investigation is on.
