Manoj, a resident of Mandoli area of east Delhi, took Seema, 20, to Hotel Pelican here Monday afternoon.
"In his confession, Manoj told us that Seema had ditched him in the past, hence he planned to kill her. He arranged for the sleeping pills and assured her that he would consume as many pills as she did. While Seema had around 50 pills, Manoj had just a few," Circle Officer Praveen Ranjan Singh told IANS.
After making Seema consume the tablets, Manoj SMSed his relatives that they had committed suicide.
His family members immediately informed the police, who rushed to the hotel room and found Seema lying unconscious on the bed, while Manoj was in a semi-conscious state.
The two were rushed to a hospital, where doctors pronounced Seema brought dead.
Manoj is undergoing treatment.
"Manoj is a supervisor with a dials manufacturing company in Delhi. Seema was his long-time friend," Singh said.
