Gorakhpur: Indeed, love kills more than wars and diseases. In a case of passion killing, a man here, unable to bear the pangs of being separated from his beloved, ran his car over the girl, murdering her on the spot on Wednesday.
A case has been registered against the accused Prince Yadav at the local police station. The body's post-mortem was done on Wednesday night and the report is yet to be handed over to the police.
Police said that a preliminary investigation revealed that Yadav, a resident of Kishinagar, had been harassing the girl for the past three months and proposed to marry her. When rejected, Yadav got mad and lost his cool. Despite blocking his number, he kept disturbing her by calling her from different numbers.
The girl had shared the predicament with her mother after which the family members reprimanded Yadav, asking him not to bother her. "My sister was in her final year of graduation. Prince kept pressuring her for marriage but she refused because her wedding had already been fixed somewhere else. Her Tilak ceremony was scheduled in November," the brother said.
