Jharkhand: Lohardaga police recovered the body of an 17-year-old boy who died by suicide after allegedly murdering his teenage girlfriend. According to authorities, the boy attacked 14-year-old girl and killed her by slitting her throat with a knife. The incident took place in a forest area under the Serengdag police station limits.
The boy recorded the horrific act, shared it on social media and later took his own life by hanging in a nearby jungle. Lohardaga SP Sadique Anwar Rizvi reported that the two teens, who were dating, attended the Rath Yatra fair in Dandu village with friends.
While returning in the evening, a dispute reportedly led Jaynath to stab the girl multiple times, resulting in her death. Sources suggest the girlfriend had recently distanced herself from Jaynath, possibly fueling his anger.
Jaynath filmed the attack, took selfies with the girl’s body and the blood-stained knife and posted the footage online before fleeing to the jungle. Villagers attempted to apprehend him, but he escaped and later hanged himself from a tree.
The father of the victim, Ramdayal Kherwar, said his daughter, a student at Dunduru school, had gone to the fair with friends, including Jaynath. Bystanders tried to intervene during the attack but could not save her.
Police recovered both bodies and sent them for post-mortem examination while continuing their investigation.
