A young couple allegedly died by suicide after jumping before a moving train near Bhagirath railway station in Uttar Pradesh’s Maharajganj on Wednesday following opposition from their families for their marriage, police said.
Nautanwa SHO Purushottam Rao said eyewitnesses reported that the two were holding hands when they jumped before the Nautanwa-Gorakhpur Intercity Express.
According to the police, the young couple, in their early 20s, took the extreme step as their families opposed to their marriage.

Further investigation is underway.
