BENGALURU: A 24-year-old man died by suicide after his girlfriend, a Kannada TV serial actress, allegedly forced him to marry her.

The victim took the extreme step at the actress’ house in CK Palya Layout on Tuesday night. The Hulimavu police have registered a case.

The deceased has been identified as Madan, a resident of Konanakunte who was working with an event management company.

The police stated that around 8:30 pm on Tuesday, Madan hanged himself from the ceiling fan using a saree at his girlfriend Veena’s house in CK Palya.

Veena had reportedly been pressuring Madan to marry her and was allegedly harassing him. On Tuesday evening, the couple had a party, and an argument ensued between them, following which Madan took the extreme step.

After an alert, the police rushed to the spot and sent the body for a postmortem. No suicide note was found, and the police are investigating the case to ascertain if there was any foul play behind the death.
