A man committed suicide after which the police booked his wife, her mother and brother on the charge of abetment to suicide.
The case was registered after his family found a suicide note in the medicine slips. Earlier, the police had initiated inquest proceedings in the case.
The victim Lovepreet Singh (25), a resident of Chawinda Devi village, had taken the extreme step on October 23, but he succumbed at a private hospital two days ago. He was married to Parampreet Kaur, a resident of Sultanwind Road, a year ago.
Jaspal Singh, father of the deceased, told the police that Lovepreet married Parampreet on November 18 last year. He alleged that after a few days of marriage, the couple did not enjoy the cordial relations as Parampreet used to fight with him over trivial issues. Four months ago, she left the house and went to her parents’ house following a quarrel with Lovepreet. He said perturbed over this, his son consumed some poisonous substance and was rushed to a private hospital, from where he was released on November 1. He said three days later, he developed some respiratory problem and was again admitted to a hospital. From there, he was shifted to another hospital. He died on November 14 during treatment.
He said the police started inquest proceedings for the post-mortem examination. He said on Monday, when they were looking at his medicine slips, they found a suicide note, in which Lovepreet held Parampreet, her mother Ramanjit and brother Gurjit Singh responsible for taking the extreme step. The Kathunangal police have registered a case under Sections 306 and 34 of the IPC against them, while no arrest has been made so far.
