A young couple committed suicide after jumping from a train in MP

Bhopal: A young couple reportedly jumped from a moving train into the Dhasan River in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur district on Saturday afternoon as part of an apparent suicide pact. Shocked passengers and villagers on the river bank witnessed the couple jumping off the Howrah-Chambal express as it was crossing a bridge near Harpalpur railway station, about 200 km from Gwalior on the UP-MP border.

The villagers immediately informed the police and tried to save the couple, but the fall turned out to be fatal. Their bodies were recovered and taken to a hospital in Naugaon for autopsy. Police identified the young man as 20-year-old Sanjeev Ahirwar from Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh, although the young woman’s identity remains unknown. Authorities are investigating the circumstances behind the suspected suicide pact and examining potential motives.
