Hindu woman in bridal attire, Muslim man found hanging from tree in UP's Jhansi
Jhansi (UP) (PTI): A Muslim man and an 18-year-old Hindu woman dressed in bridal attire were found hanging from a tree here on Saturday, with police suspecting that the duo took the extreme step after her marriage was fixed elsewhere.
However, family members of both denied having any knowledge of a romantic relationship between them.
The police said they are waiting for the post-mortem report, and the matter is being investigated from all angles, although no complaint has been received from either side so far.
The duo, Yazul (20) and Muskan, were residents of the Patti Kumharra village.
Station House Officer (SHO) Chirgaon police station Rahul Rathore said that villagers noticed the bodies hanging from a tree on the premises of an abandoned house.
The woman was found dressed in bridal attire, raising suspicion among locals that the duo were distressed over being unable to marry because of their different faiths.
Police sources said the man and the woman allegedly hanged themselves after her engagement was fixed elsewhere.

BJP has history of ‘contradictory alliances’, says BK Hariprasad
Bengaluru: Congress MLC B. K. Hariprasad has launched a sharp attack on the BJP, accusing the party of hypocrisy over its criticism of alliance politics in Tamil Nadu.
In a post on X on Friday, Hariprasad said BJP leader B. L. Santhosh criticising the Congress party’s alliance politics in Tamil Nadu was “not just laughable, but the height of political contradiction.”
He said the Congress has always joined hands with like-minded parties to protect secular and democratic values in the country.
Hariprasad questioned the BJP over several of its past and present alliances across the country. Referring to Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Tripura, Bihar and Maharashtra, he accused the BJP of sharing power with parties it had earlier criticised.
He alleged that the BJP had aligned with separatist and corruption-linked political forces in different states for political gains.
“The BJP, which speaks against alliances today, should first look at its own political history,” he said, adding that the party’s record was full of “contradictions and changing stands.”
Hariprasad also accused the BJP of using central agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate, Income Tax Department and CBI as political tools to target opposition leaders, topple governments and influence electoral mandates.
He further claimed that the people of Tamil Nadu had strongly rejected the BJP and its ideology in the recent election.
“Congress forms alliances to protect the Constitution, secularism and national unity, while the BJP enters into alliances only for power,” he said.
