Chennai, September 23: A head constable attached to the Railway Protection Force in Sengottai died by suicide in the early hours of Friday, hours after a woman constable of the Government Railway Police (GRP) attached to Madurai ended her life along with her two children by jumping in front of a speeding train near Samayanallur on Thursday evening. The two suicides were the result of an affair that ended in a fight, according to the investigation.

The 30-year-old grade I constable, K Jayalakshmi, was discovered dead on the track with her 11-year-old daughter and nine-year-old son. GRP transferred their remains to the Government Rajaji Hospital for autopsies, filed a case, and conducted an investigation. Jayalakshmi had lately been relocated to Trichy but had taken a medical leave. Under these conditions, RPF head constable Sokkalinga Pandian of Kovilpatti was discovered dead on the rails. He had driven from Kovilpatti in the early hours of Friday and collided with a train traversing the stretch about 3 am. Uttar Pradesh Shocker: Jilted Lover Opens Fire at Girl for Talking on Phone to Other Man, Then Kills Self in Meerut.

Tuticorin GRP retrieved his corpse and sent it to Kovilpatti GH for autopsy. Pandian has been having an affair with Jayalakshmi for the past six years, according to the investigation. He filed for divorce from his wife, and the issue is currently in court. However, Pandian and Jayalakshmi's relationship failed after Pandian allegedly had an affair with a lady in Sengottai. Jayalakshmi had threatened the woman over the phone in desperation.

She'd gone to Sengottai a few days earlier and threatened the woman with grave repercussions if she didn't quit her relationship. The woman, on the other hand, taped her threatening calls and the fight and stated that she would give them to senior police officers. ‘Karishma Meri Hai’: Jilted Lover in Uttar Pradesh’s Hapur Threatens To Kill Groom if He Brings Baraat, Sticks Chilling Poster at His House.

According to reports, Jayalakshmi was presumably relocated to Trichy when high officials learnt of the problem. As Jayalakshmi and the children committed themselves, investigators planned to accuse Pandian of abetting suicide. She also sent suicide notes to Pandian and her brother before taking the drastic move.
