Rajat Kumar, 25, who saved cricketer Rishabh Pant's life after his 2022 car accident, attempted suicide with his girlfriend, Manu Kashyap, 21, in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh. Their families opposed their relationship due to caste differences, leading to arranged marriages elsewhere. Both consumed poison; Ms. Kashyap died, while Mr. Kumar is in critical condition. Ms. Kashyap's mother alleges Mr. Kumar kidnapped and poisoned her. Mr. Kumar and Nishu Kumar were hailed as heroes for rescuing Pant from his burning car, receiving scooters as a gift from the cricketer. This tragic turn of events has shocked the community.
