Cuttack: A youth allegedly committed suicide by jumping before a moving train in Cuttack. The deceased Manoj Swain’s body was recovered from the railway tracks near Matru Bhawan on Saturday.

A video purportedly recorded by Swain just before his death narrating the reasons behind his decision to end his life has surfaced. Sources said Swain, who hails from Niali area, was in a relationship with a girl from Jajpur for the last few years. In the video, Swain has alleged that he was forced to end his life after the girl snapped ties with him by agreeing to marry another guy.

“The girl was ignoring me for the last one month and informed that she has decided to marry another guy. I urge everybody not to love anybody,” Swain can be heard saying in the video.

Senior police officials informed that a handwritten note has also been recovered from the spot. In the note, the deceased has held the girl responsible for his death.

Deceased Manoj’s family members on the other hand alleged that he was murdered.

“We had spoken with the girl over phone and we had asked her to convince her parents as she was from a different caste. My son has been murdered as the girl had asked him to visit a particular place yesterday,” said deceased’s father Nimai Swain.
