Bangalore, Jan 21: A suicide pact between a couple ended with the young man being run over by a train, while the girl escaped.

According to the police, Renuka Prasad (20), was in love with a 15-year-old girl. However, their families- both from Motaganahalli in Magadi taluk- disapproved of the relationship. The couple decided to run away from home and came to Bidadi on Sunday.

That night, they ordered a meal at a nearby hotel, in which they allegedly mixed rat poison. This, police said, wasn't the first time they attempted to end their lives. And like the January 2 bid, the poison too did not have the effect the couple wanted. So, they decided to end their lives by lying on the railway track at Kengeri railway station.

A passenger train from Mysore was entering the city around 11.30 p.m. As the sound of the train grew louder, the girl reconsidered and ran away from the path of the train, even as Renuka Prasad was crushed to death, the police said.

Local people, who heard the girl's cries, rushed her to Rajarajeshwari medical hospital, where she is being treated.

A case has been registered with the railway police.

Udupi: In a significant operation, the Malpe police have arrested seven Bangladeshi nationals who were illegally residing in India using forged Aadhaar cards. Udupi Superintendent of Police, Dr. Arun K, stated that the arrests followed after an immigration incident involving one of the group's members.

Muhammed Manik, one of the arrested individuals, was caught attempting to travel to Dubai via Mangaluru International Airport with a fake passport. Alert immigration officers at the airport detained him and handed him over to the Bajpe police, who registered a case. Following this, the Udupi police, acting on the information provided by the Bajpe police and immigration authorities, conducted an investigation that led to the arrest of the seven individuals in Hoode village, Paduthonse, Udupi.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Hakeem Ali (24), Sujon S K alias Farooq (19), Ismail S K (30), Kareem S K (20), Salam S K (22), Rajikul S K (20), and Mohammed Sojib (20), all hailing from Bangladesh.

The group entered India without any valid documentation and managed to acquire fake Aadhaar cards, which they used to stay in the country illegally. According to police sources, a person named Kajol from Agartala assisted them in obtaining the fraudulent Aadhaar cards, while a Bangladeshi named Usman facilitated their illegal entry into India under the guise of employment. Both Kajol and Usman are currently at large.

The Malpe police have registered cases under several sections, including Sections 19(2), 318(4), 336(2), 336(3), 340(2), and 190 of the BNS, related to fraud and illegal entry. Interrogations are ongoing as the police seek further details in connection with the case.
