Month into marriage, wife of LRD jawan ends life

AHMEDABAD: The 23-year-old wife of a Lok Rakshak Dal jawan committed suicide at her house in Vatva on Tuesday. The victim, Kiran Parmar, was found hanging from ceiling by her family members. The woman, said Vatva police, had got married just a month back.
Kiran's parents and relatives have told the Vatva police that she was married to LRD jawan, Pravin Parmar, who is posted in Jamnagar.Fifth day after marriage, according to rituals, Kiran had paid a visit to her parents who stay in Vatva. During her stay with her parents, Pravin visited Kiran twice.
In the last meeting on June 23, Pravin told Kiran that he does not want to live with her and that he had married her under pressure from his parents. Pravin refused to take Kiran back to Jamnagar with him. This, said Vatva police, may have driven Kiran to suicide. However, the victim has not left any suicide note.
Vatva police said: "We have booked Pravin for abetment to suicide. We will summon the LRD jawan for questioning. After recording his statement, we will ascertain what exactly the dispute between the newly-married couple was. Only after these procedures are over, we will be able to decide what action to take."
