According to police, Abhishek Banjara was in a relationship with a woman married to a man in Chittorgarh. She was living with her parents in Kasya village.

A couple of months ago, pictures of Banjara and the woman surfaced online, due to which the woman argued with her husband. She had recently filed a case of dowry against her husband, and an investigation in the case is underway, SHO Bijolia Lokpal Singh said.

On Friday evening, Abhishek was found hanging from a tree in the compound of a local government school, Singh said.

His family members alleged that the woman's family abducted and killed Abhishek and hanged him with the tree, he said.

A postmortem was conducted, and the medical board did not find any injury marks, the SHO said.

Primary investigation reveals that it is a case of suicide. "The allegations of the family members of the deceased are being investigated, and action will be taken as per the outcome of the investigation," he added.
