New Delhi: A 22-year-old man committed suicide by allegedly jumping off a mall in the city three months after his girlfriend killed herself in a similar manner.

The deceased was identified as Rinku Meena, an engineering graduate from Karauli in Rajasthan. He succumbed to his injuries at a hospital in Ghaziabad on Thursday.

The police said that on Wednesday late evening, Meena jumped off the third floor of Shoptrix mall located in Vaishali area. “We have recovered a two-page suicide note from him. In his suicide note, he has mentioned about a girl, who had committed suicide two months ago in an East Delhi mall,” said a police official.

His girlfriend, a 17-year-old minor based in Ghaziabad, had also allegedly jumped off a mall in East Delhi on September 21, leaving behind a suicide note in which she had mentioned her relationship with the deceased.

During investigation, it was found that they met on Facebook and became friends but had to separate as their families were opposing their relation. The girl committed suicide and her family members alleged that the youth was stalking their daughter. An FIR was registered and he was sent to jail. After few weeks, he got out on bail.

“I had promised the girl that we will live together and die together. Now that she is gone, I have to end my life as well. I request my elder brothers to take care of our parents,” the deceased student stated in his suicide note.
