Tirupur: A 23-year-old young woman attempted suicide by consuming poison at the Tirupur District Collectorate.
Muthuselvi (23) and Krishna Deepak (26) of the Madathukulam area in Tirupur were relatives and were in love with each other for a long time. A couple of months ago, they got married secretly and still continued to live with their parents.
Post this, Krishna Deepak began to detach himself from Muthuselvi. His family too was keen to get him married to a wealthy girl and which led him to isolate himself from Muthuselvi. On becoming aware of this, Muthuselvi informed her mother and proceeded to lodge a complaint at the Udumalai All Women Police station.
The Social Welfare Department office at the Tirupur District Collectorate brought in both the parties to negotiate between them. During the negotiation, Krishna Deepak spoke ill about Muthuselvi. The heartbroken woman attempted to commit suicide right inside the District Collectorate by consuming poison.
The relatives and officials present there rescued her and sent her to the Tirupur Government Hospital for treatment.
The enraged relatives of Muthuselvi laid siege to the District Collectorate and protested. The Veerapanadi police rushed to the spot and promised that proper action would be taken, following which they dispersed.
