A 34-year-old man committed suicide by hanging himself as his parents did not give him permission to marry the lady whom he loved.

According to police, Arunkumar, a mill worker, was in love with a woman who was also working in the same mill. His lover is eight months pregnant now.

When Arunkumar expressed his desire to marry her, his parents strongly opposed it. Upset over this, he killed himself in a room in his house on Thursday night, police said.

On information, police rushed to the spot, recovered the body and sent it for post mortem. Investigations are on.
