Minor commits suicide on video call, body found in Palanpur

Updated: May 17th, 2024


In a plot reminiscent of a murder mystery novel, a dead body recovered from Gujarat’s Palanpur was of a 17-year-old who committed suicide on an ongoing video call with her boyfriend.

On Apr 4, Palanpur city police had called up the victim’s father, a native of Bihar, and the body was handed over to the parents. 

Meanwhile, an ambulance driver informed the Sola police station in Ahmedabad that he had received a call from Rajkishor, a resident of Ghatlodiya, for shifting a dead body to Rajasthan.

The driver had refused Rajkishor, as he did not have the death certificate and other documents to show for.

Based on the driver’s tip, Sola police started an investigation. The police contacted the Palanpur police, and the deceased’s father was once again called.

The father revealed that the victim had eloped with Sudul Yadal alias Guddu to Ahmedabad, on a promise of marriage.

On Apr 3, the couple had a fight and Guddu had left for Rajasthan. Angered by Guddu, the victim strangled herself to death while on a video call with Guddu.

Frightened by the turn of events, Guddu had contacted his friend Rajkishor for help, to take the body from Ahmedabad to Rajasthan.

However, when the ambulance driver refused to come, Rajkishor drove the body into his car, but had to dispose of the body in Palanpur due to a police check post. 

A complaint has been registered against the accused, and an investigation is underway.
