Mangaluru, Apr 13: A lover couple committed suicide on the railway tracks at Adyarpadavu here on Wednesday April 13.
The deceased have been identified as Jayanti (30) and Claud (35).
Claud was a postman at Neermarga while Jayanti was working as a salesgirl in an electronic shop in the same area. He and Jayanti, who were neighbours, were in love but their families reportedly opposed their relationship as they belonged to different religions, sources said.
The couple had gone missing about two days ago and Jayanti's family had expressed suspicions with the police that she might have eloped with Claud. Some locals had reportedly seen them together.
On April 13, the couple lay on the tracks at Adyarpadavu and were killed instantly as a train passed over them.
The railway police shifted the bodies to Wenlock hospital.
A case will be registered in Mangaluru rural police station.
