Udupi, Jun 12: A man and a girl ,who were missing for the past three days , were found together dead hanging from a tree at Kajarahalli near Saibrakatte on Friday , June 12 evening.
The deceased have been identified as Divakar (26) a rickshaw driver and Chaithra (16) a student of Mandarthi high school. Both were the residents of Kajarahalli.
A missing complaint about the duo was lodged three days back at Shankaranarayana police station, it is gathered.
Some villagers found the couple hanging from a tree outside the village near Kajarahalli on Friday evening and informed others.
Sources said that the couple were in love and there were objections about it from their families. Some days back they were spotted together in the village in a public place and people had made comments about them. These things might have prompted them to take the extreme step, it is suspected.
Divakar was a popular person in the vicinity for his good behaviour. Divakar and Chaithra belonged to different communities. In addition to the rickshaw, Divakar owned an Omni car. His family was engaged in farming as well. The abandoned Omni car was found near the site of the suicide. Chaithra stayed at her aunt's house for her education.
