| As the CBI grapples with the murder versus suicide theory in the Rizwanur Rehman case, what is getting overlooked perhaps is the Rizwanur-Priyanka love story.
In some documents that Rizwanur himself handed over to some human rights activists before his death, the 30-year-old Muslim youth stated that he was willing to convert to Hinduism - if that is what the Todi family wanted.
He even designed a new logo for Lux Cozi, which is the brand name of the products of Ashok Todi's company.
In a statement, he prepared few days before his death, Rizwanur wrote:
''I came to know Priyanka in March 2006 as she was one of my students. We developed a strong affection for each other and decided to marry over a courtship of one year.''
''We knew it would be very difficult to convince her parents because she came from an orthodox Marwari background. So we decided to do court marriage as we are both matured and then inform our families.''
But Rizwanur was clearly willing to go to any length to win over Ashok and Bimla Todi. He even agreed to Ashok Todi's proposal that he convert to Hinduism.
On August 31, Rizwanur wrote: ''My father-in-law spoke to me. He told me that I would have to convert to Hinduism to which I agreed.''
On September 11, he spoke to Priyanka for the last time.
Rizwanur writes that she categorically mentioned that they would meet on Sunday September 16.
After this, Rizwanur wrote: ''I decided I would just wait till Sunday. Being a graphic designer and advertising man, I engaged myself in making new creatives for my father-in-law's company, hoping that I would show it to him and things would take a positive shape.''
Things did not take a positive shape.
Ten days later Rizwanur was dead. There was premonition of it in his statement.
On September 8, when Priyanka went away, Rizwanur wrote: ''We knew perhaps we will never meet again.
