Woman Faces Charges After Husband's Tragic Suicide in Thane Creek
A distressing case of alleged abetment to suicide has emerged from the Bhiwandi area of Thane district. The Narpoli police station has registered a First Information Report (FIR) against a 31-year-old woman, accusing her of driving her husband to take his own life.
The tragic incident occurred on December 4, when the victim, identified as Mohiddin Mohammad Salim Ansari (30), died by suicide. According to an official, Ansari ended his life by jumping into a creek.
Mother's Complaint Leads to FIR Under New Law
The legal action followed a formal complaint lodged by the deceased man's mother. She alleged that her daughter-in-law's persistent verbal abuse and financial demands created an unbearable situation for her son, ultimately pushing him towards the extreme step.
Based on this complaint, the police registered the case on Monday under a stringent section of the recently implemented criminal code. The charges have been framed under Section 108 (Abetment of suicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Investigation Underway, No Arrests Made Yet
As of now, the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the suicide is ongoing. Police authorities have confirmed that no arrest has been made in the case at this preliminary stage. The officials are likely gathering further evidence and statements before proceeding with any detention.
