“Sunita requested Shravan to confirm his response for the marriage proposal and set a deadline of February 14 since , Valentine’s Day. However, Shravan called her names and asked her to die and leave him in peace,” police said.

A dejected Sunita carried herself with petrol and visited a place of worship in Muthangi on February 14 and the next day she went to Bhagyanagar Cooperative Society between 1 pm and 1.30 pm and immolated herself to death, police added.

According to police, the conversation between Sunita and Shravan on social media networks has been retrieved and the latter also confessed to his guilt. During interrogation, it has also come to light that the accused had ditched at least five other girls in the same manner.
