Two sisters who fell in love with two brothers at their work place died by suicide at Valanadu
Lin Trichy on Tuesday after their parents opposed their love affair as the men were Muslims. The bodies of P Gayathri
, 23, and P Vidhya, 21, natives of Ayanpudhupatti village in Marungapuri taluk, were found floating in a well.

The women were working in a textile mill at Kangeyam in Tirupur district for a few years when they fell in love with the brothers who were employees there. On coming to know about it, their father Pitchai and their mother opposed it. The sisters had come to their native place to participate in the annual festival of their village temple which began a few days ago.
On Monday, the two were seen talking on their mobile phones separately. Sensing that their daughters were still continuing their love affairs, their parents reiterated their stand and asked them to stop talking to them.


On Tuesday, Gayathri and Vidhya left home around 7.30 am. As they did not return after several hours, their parents and relatives searched for them. They found their mobile phones near an agriculture well about 400 metres away from home. When they checked the well, the bodies of the siblings were found floating on it. Fire and rescue services personnel who were called in fished out the bodies which Thuvarankurichi police sent to Manapparai government hospital for postmortem.

One of the girls had written her name on her palm while the other woman had written their younger brother’s mobile number in her palm to help their family members identify their bodies,” inspector and P Shanmugasundaram told TOI.
He said the women had sent a voice message to the mother of their lovers about their decision to end their lives by jumping into a well in Kangeyam.


“According to the family members of the victims, there was no altercation or scuffle with regard to their love affairs. However, after confirming that their parents will never allow them to marry their lovers, they had taken the decision,” the inspector added. Police have booked a case under section 174 of IPC.
