BELWAPURWA, UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA – OCTOBER 19, 2026 Bodies of 22-year-old Rama and 18-year-old Jitendra were found hanging from two separate trees in a field near the village of Belwapurwa. According to preliminary findings, they were in a romantic relationship. Police are investigating the circumstances of their deaths.
Rama had been married for approximately 18 months, but she had been living with her parents for some time and refused to return to her husband’s home. Jitendra worked as a carpenter in Lucknow and had left for work there about 20 days before the tragedy.
Rama left her parents’ home early Sunday morning without telling anyone where she was going. Jitendra, meanwhile, called his family on Sunday evening and said he would return home, but he never arrived. On Monday morning, police received a report about the discovery of both bodies. Although the investigation revealed that they were in a romantic relationship, the exact reason that may have led them to die by suicide has not yet been confirmed.
