Ambikapur (Chhattisgarh) :"Go my love, now I will never come back, just be happy" - were the parting lines of 22 year old Pankaj Toppo who wrote it on the wall before choosing to hang himself in the locked cabin of his friend's rented house at Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh on Thursday night. Though police are suspecting it be a case of jilted love affair but they are yet to zero in on the ‘Dark Lady’ supposedly responsible for the death.
Pankaj Toppo, a resident of Bhagwatpur in Jashpur district, had been working as a labourer in Ambikapur for a few days before his untimely death. Toppo had been staying in a rented house in Subhash Nagar with a friend, who had gone to his village for a wedding a few days prior to the incident. Upon returning on Friday morning the friend found the door locked from inside.
As Toppo was neither answering his calls nor responding from inside, his friend peered inside the house through the roof, only to discover his friend's lifeless body hanging from a noose. In a state of shock, he immediately alerted the authorities, who arrived on the scene to conduct an investigation. The police conducted a ‘eyewitness testimony’ of the body before transferring it to Ambikapur Medical College Hospital for autopsy.
