Pregnant girl attempts suicide

HYDERABAD: A 19-year-old pregnant girl attempted suicide by consuming insecticide on Monday after her lover refused to marry her.
B Latha, daughter of B Yadaiah and a resident of Gaddiannaram in Malakpet, filed a complaint with the Malakpet police against her lover Bhanu Prasad, a close relative of hers.
In her complaint, Latha alleged that Bhanu Prasad, with whom she had fallen in love three years ago, had cheated her by not marrying her as "promised".
He demanded dowry of Rs. 60,000 to marry her, Latha said.
