The girl's family had initially agreed to their relationship but later refused to go ahead with the marriage and fixed her marriage with someone else. At around 7:30 am, Shiv arrived at the girl's house to meet her, but her family stopped him outside. He said that he would kill himself if they did not let him meet her. When the family refused, he took out a country-made pistol and shot himself in the chest. The incident took place in Basewa Rai village in Harraiya, around 30 km from the district headquarters. After receiving information, the police and forensic team reached the spot and collected evidence. Police questioned the family, took custody of the body and sent it for a post-mortem examination. He created a scene in the village before shooting himself According to the police, Shivkumar, a resident of Thakurpur, had come to Basewa Rai village to visit his relative, Lalu Prasad. He was in a relationship with a girl from the family and was insisting on meeting her. When he could not meet her, he threatened to die by suicide. Shivkumar was shouting loudly, hearing which people from nearby houses gathered at the spot and tried to calm him down. However, he did not listen to anyone and shot himself in front of the villagers. Amid the chaos, Harraiya Station House Officer Sanjay Kumar reached the spot with police personnel and a forensic team. The officer said that the marriage of the two had been fixed earlier but was called off for some reason. He said this led Shivkumar to die by suicide. However, Circle Officer Swarnima Singh gave a different account. She said Shivkumar wanted to marry his cousin, his paternal aunt's daughter, but the girl was not willing to marry him. This had led to tension between the two families. On Wednesday, Shivkumar threatened people before shooting himself. According to Parshurampur police station in-charge Pradeep Singh, Shivkumar was a resident of Thakurpur village and had been in a relationship with a young woman from Basewa village. The two had been in contact for the past 10 years. Shivkumar wanted to marry the woman at any cost. However, after her family fixed her marriage elsewhere, he allegedly sent them objectionable photos and videos of her and threatened to make them public. After receiving a complaint, Parshurampur police called both of them to the police station on Tuesday, a day before the incident. They reached an agreement and decided to stop talking to each other and change their mobile numbers. Shivkumar also agreed to delete the photos and videos from his phone. However, the very next day, he reached the woman's house and insisted on meeting her. He started shouting loudly and later shot himself.
