Couple's Final Message: 'Don't Separate Us' as Bodies Found on Railway Track
A young interfaith couple, Rocky Kumar Mandal and Nazia Khatoon, were found dead on a railway track in Jharkhand's Jamtara district on Saturday. Their bodies were discovered near a local railway water tank. Police are investigating the circumstances of their deaths. The couple, who had been in a relationship for years, left their homes on Friday evening to visit a fair and a temple. A video posted on Instagram shows them tied together with a blue cloth, accompanied by a message urging villagers not to separate them. Inspector Alakh Nath Chaubey noted that the couple had no legal marriage, though a photo suggests Rocky may have applied vermilion on Nazia's forehead. A post-mortem was conducted, and the bodies were handed over to their families. Villagers reported that the families opposed their relationship, leading to community tensions.
