CHILLING RISE IN MURDERS IN INDIA AS THE SPARK DIES IN RELATIONSHIP


NEW DELHI, India - According to Delhi Police statistics, 18 per cent of the 543 murders committed last year were as a direct consequence of failed relationships. And a majority of those involved belonged to well-to-do families.
Psychologists are of the opinion that today's generation is not taught to take ‘no' for an answer and it's this inability to accept rejection that has seen many a love story and alliance ending in tragedy.
  • Experts say such relationships can be interpreted more as an obsession, than love. It is akin to possessing something and if it cannot belong to them, it has to be destroyed.
  • For instance: It enraged Amar no end when 19-year-old Pallavi, daughter of a bureaucrat, moved on from their relationship of two years. As her parents fixed her marriage with another boy, Amar, son of a businessman, threatened to commit suicide. When Pallavi continued ignoring him, he took to drugs and sent text messages warning that he would harm her.
  • In another case, Chitra killed her husband Deepak, not because he was having an affair, but importantly because he wanted to get out of their two-year-old marriage. The crime was well planned and Chitra admitted she was jealous of the other woman and had intended harming her also.
some experts dealing with criminals on a psychological level admit that the crimes have been committed in urban set-ups where teenagers now have more ‘friends' and relationship issues than ever before. All this was because social media allows them to develop contacts even under the most restrictive circumstances.
"Limit and monitor the use of social networking sites and other gadgets that keep us connected forever," advises Chugh. "It is good to disconnect every now and then to give a break and take out time for one's own self," he recommends.
