Indore: A 17-year-old girl was allegedly killed by her boyfriend who later attempted suicide and suffered severe injuries in the process on Thursday, police said.
The deceased was identified as Pinki, whose body was found lying on a hand-driven cart near a house here, Additional SP Rakesh Singh said.
There were marks on her neck that indicated that she could have been strangled, he said.
Her boyfriend, Raju, a labourer in the local vegetable market, jumped from a 40-feet-high water tank after allegedly murdering the teenager with whom he had been living for some time, Singh said.
