The deceased identified as D Jeeva, daughter of a farmer, was a final year engineering student at a private college in Keelambi village. The police said that Jeeva was in a relationship with Kannan (22), a private firm employee, hailing from the same locality.

Following this, Jeeva stopped talking with Kannan a month ago. Kannan repeatedly called Jeeva over phone and threatened to post their pictures on social media. On Tuesday night, Kannan posted a few pictures in which they both were together on a WhatsApp group. Jeeva was dejected over this.
On Wednesday morning, Jeeva’s parents woke up and saw her hanging from a ceiling using her dupatta. The Magaral police visited the spot and sent the body for post-mortem examination. They have also launched a hunt to nab Kannan.
