Gym trainer found dead – The Hindu

A 26-year-old gym trainer allegedly ended his life after learning that the woman he was in a relationship with was engaged to another man. The incident occurred in the limits of the Mahalakshmi Layout police station on Saturday.

The deceased has been identified as Kiran, 26, a bodybuilder and gym trainer.

According to the police, Kiran had been in a relationship with a woman for the past three years. Recently, the woman informed him that her marriage had been fixed with another person and even showed him the wedding invitation and new saree, which reportedly left him deeply distressed.

The police said Kiran returned home, locked himself inside his room, and allegedly killed himself. The incident came to light when his family members forced open the door. The police were informed immediately, and the body was shifted to Victoria Hospital for post-mortem examination.

Family of the deceased said Kiran was preparing to gift something to the woman for Valentine’s Day, but was devastated after learning about her engagement.

Meanwhile, Kiran’s parents have lodged a complaint, alleging that their son was emotionally and financially exploited. They claimed that the woman’s family had a loan of around ₹50 lakh, and Kiran had assured them that he would help clear the loan.

The woman reportedly visited Kiran’s house about eight months ago and had requested his family to agree to their marriage.

The woman was said to be two years older than Kiran, and her marriage was reportedly finalised just a week ago. The parents have alleged that after receiving financial support, the woman went ahead with another relationship, which allegedly pushed their son into taking the extreme step. The police have registered a case.
