Recently when he came to know that her family was fixing her marriage, he became angry,” the officer said.“He had also shared their photographs with her fiancé to discourage him from marrying her. He had messaged her several times saying that he will commit suicide if she marries someone else. The woman had also given a written complaint to the local police station that he had been blackmailing her in this manner. We have found the complaint letters too,” the officer said.Further the police found that Sangle’s mother was no more and his father had remarried and was not in contact with the family.
