He also showed her tying a cloth to the ceiling fan before taking the extreme step.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Police said Dileep had met the 42-year-old married woman at the gym around two years ago, where she used to come for workouts. <!-- -->They became close during training sessions, and the friendship allegedly turned into a personal relationship.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Following disputes between them, Dileep and the woman had approached the police a year ago. At the time, the woman and her husband had submitted a written apology, assuring that she would not remain in contact with him, Dileep also gave a written statement to maintain distance from her and the matter was compromised. However, Dileep\u2019s family alleges that she continued to harass and blackmail him. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Woman messaged Dileep\u2019s sister about the extreme step, on the night of the incident, Dileep returned home around 11.15pm. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>When his father asked him to have dinner, he reportedly said he had eaten outside and went upstairs to his room. Within minutes, he allegedly tied a blanket to the ceiling fan and made a video call to the woman, showing her the noose and informing her of his decision.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>The woman then messaged Dileep\u2019s sister, Vinutha, who was at home for her maternity. Initially, she sent \u201chi\u201d and \u201chello\u201d. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>When there was no response, she asked her to check on her brother. When Vinutha replied asking what was wrong, the woman said he had not eaten anything for the past three days and had tied a cloth to the fan, adding that she was scared.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Alarmed, Vinutha informed her parents. \u201cMy father and I forced open the door and found Dileep hanging. <!-- -->We immediately untied the noose and, with the help of neighbours, rushed him to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead,\u201d Vinutha said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>She alleged that her brother ended his life due to the married woman\u2019s harassment. \u201cShe used to show him her baby and emotionally harass him. She must be punished,\u201d Vinutha said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Dileep\u2019s father, Ramesh, also levelled serious allegations, claiming that the woman pressured his son to transfer his house property in her son\u2019s name. <!-- -->\u201cUnable to bear the torture, my son took his life,\u201d he told police.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>The body was handed over to the family after a postmortem at Nelamangala Government Hospital on Sunday.
