Upset over coach’s murder, female hockey player ends life
January 3rd, 2012 - 7:48 pm ICT by IANSHyderabad, Jan 3 (IANS) Upset over the murder of her coach during New Year celebrations, a woman hockey player Tuesday committed suicide in the port city of Visakhapatnam.
Two days after G. Bhaskar Rao was murdered by his junior, Meena ended her life by immolating herself at her residence. A police officer said she was upset and unable to bear the loss of her coach and hence committed suicide.
Ninteen-year-old Meena was a state-level player and was a degree student at AVN College in Visakhapatnam. Bhaskar Rao was a senior player and was also coaching Meena. The couple reportedly had an affair.
Bhaskar Rao (21) was stabbed to death early Sunday by his junior with a knife meant to cut a cake to mark the New Year.
The two had an altercation over some petty issue during the New Year celebrations at Port Grounds. In a fit of rage, Ratna Kumar stabbed Bhaskar Rao in his chest.
A bleeding Rao was taken to Port Jubilee Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Police have arrested Ratna Kumar.
