Pune: Manoj Sudam Jadhav, 17, a student of class XI at DY Patil College in Pimri, who had shot himself in the head on Saturday morning, succumbed to his injuries at Birla Hospital on Sunday. Manoj had shot himself at his residence in Chikhali.
The Dehu Road police said that Manoj, who was in love with a classmate, was facing strong opposition from his and the girlfriend's family members over their relationship.
Stating that the couple was too young to understand the importance of love and a relationship, Manoj's family members asked him not to get romantically involved with the girl. The police suspect that this might have forced Manoj to take the drastic step.
"Manoj was living with his mother and two elder brothers, Vikas and Sachin. Vikas is a businessman and has a licenced revolver for self-protection," said Ram Jadhav, Sub Inspector, Dehu Road police station. He added that on Saturday morning, Manoj went to his brother's bedroom, took out the revolver from
