The teenage girl with whom Kamal had an affair was from a different caste. Due to the caste difference, her parents did not approve of their relationship and warned Kamal to distance himself from her.

On Wednesday, Kamal eloped with the girl. In the night, the girl’s parents, along with some relatives of theirs, allegedly barged into his house to look for their daughter. Pramod was allegedly slapped by one of them. They demanded that Kamal and the girl be found in 24 hours.   Bhopal Shocker: 25-Year-Old Man Hangs Himself During Video Call With Relative In Habibganj
