The incident where a young man tried to commit suicide after pouring petrol on a woman who refused to fall in love with him has caused shock. Such cases are frequently happening in the Kerala district for love rejection and threatening dowry.
Krishnapriya (22) hails in Thikkodi near Kozhikode, Kerala. A postgraduate student in Computer Science joined the Thikkodi Panchayat office as a temporary employee for the last eight days. Nandu (26) is from the same area, and he is working as a daily wage labourer. Nandu has been in love with Krishnapriya for the past few months.
At one point, to express his love to Krishnapriya, she refuses to accept. He is said to have continued to harass Krishnapriya by proposing repeatedly. Krishnapriya arrived at the Thikkodi panchayat office yesterday morning as usual. Nandakumar, who followed him, has been forced to accept his love again.
