A pregnant unmarried woman here on Friday morning caused sensation at the Kachiguda Railway station by climbing a water tank and threatening to jump to death if she was not married off to her lover. However, she relented when the police brought her lover to the spot and sent him up to bring her down.
According to the information, Reshma of Suryapet town of Nalgonda district fell in love with one Kumaraswamy of Godavarikhani town of Karimnagar district. After some time, when Reshma became pregnant and requested Kumaraswamy to marry her immediately, the latter stopped seeing her to avoid marriage.
Shocked over the boy’s attitude, Reshma approached the police for help and lodged a complaint in Uppal police station four days ago. Kumaraswamy refused to wed her even as the police asked him to do so.
Disgusted over her lover’s adamant attitude, Reshma climbed up a water tank in front of the Kachiguda Railway Station and threatened to commit suicide. The police plunged into action and summoned Kumaraswamy to the spot. They sent him atop the water tank with help of a crane and brought down the girl.
Now, both the lovers are cooling their heels in the police station.
