The police said Harsh Narain Prasad (28),a third year LLB student of a Gaya college,had arguments with her and threatened her that he will end his life. The police did not find any suicide note.
During its probe,the police found that Prasad had been chatting with his girlfriend from another town on his laptop with the webcam on till 11.30 pm. The identity of the girl has not been revealed.
The police also found 17 unanswered calls on the Prasads mobile phone. They said the girl might have been trying to dissuade him from taking the extreme step.
