. Before his death, he told a magistrate that he wanted to marry the girl but her family was not ready because she was a minor. He doused himself with petrol and threatened to immolate himself to convince her, but she threw a burning matchstick at him. The mother told TOI, "On the fateful day, he came to our house and threatened to commit suicide if we rejected his proposal. When we refused, he went back, but after some time we heard screams from his house." She also shared few video clips which she claimed were shot by a common friend who had gone to inquire about his health in the hospital. "In the video, Arvind's family members can be seen and heard telling him that his parents will be sent to jail if he changes the statement given to magistrate. This means Arvind wanted to say the truth but was not allowed.The friend gave us the clip when he saw my daughter being falsely implicated in the case," she said.

SHO Hasanganj

said "We will examine the veracity of video before taking action." The girl hails from a poor family and has two younger siblings. Her father is unemployed and her mother runs the house by doing odd jobs.
