A Sri Lankan woman, aged about 23, consumed poison in front of her lover’s house in Srinivasapur, Kolar in Karnataka state of India late Saturday night. She was admitted to a private hospital and later shifted to the Government Hospital in Srinivasapur, where she is recuperating.
The girl, daughter of a mason from Sri Lanka, went to Kuwait five years ago in search of a job. She worked as a tailor in a garment factory when she met Pasha, who was working as a driver.
Police said the woman alleged that Pasha had promised to marry her, but returned to Srinivasapur about a year ago and married a local girl three months ago. He moved out of Srinivasapur and nobody, including his parents, know of his whereabouts, Srinivasapur PSI SLR Reddy said.
Reddy said her visa had expired on Saturday, and she claimed she had no money either to go back to Sri Lanka or Kuwait, and wants to marry Pasha and live in Srinivasapur. Since her visa had expired, he brought the matter to the notice of the higher-ups.
Mulbagal DySP Siddaramaiah said she is out of danger, and police are on the lookout for Pasha, Times of India reported.
