Davanagere: Tragedy struck in Davanagere as two students of a private college in the city allegedly took their own lives after an intimate video of them went viral on social media.

The incident unfolded when a video of the students' private moments on the college terrace, recorded two months ago by an individual from an adjacent building, surfaced on various social media platforms on Friday.

Overwhelmed by the distress caused by the video's circulation, the girl student reportedly committed suicide on Friday. Following this heartbreaking event, her male partner also took his own life late Friday night, as confirmed by the police.

Deeply concerned by the gravity of the situation, the parents of both students lodged separate complaints with the police, seeking justice and accountability for the tragic consequences of the video's dissemination.

District Superintendent of Police, Dr. K Arun, has assured the affected families and the public that a thorough investigation will be conducted into the incident. He pledged to take further appropriate actions in response to the heart-wrenching turn of events.
