Two persons were booked for abetment of suicide by the Sarai Amant Khan police on Sunday.

The accused have been identified as Sunil Bedi of Gurgaon and Madhu Sharma of Delhi. The deceased identified as Harkesh Bojihok (48) of Chheharta (Amritsar), was found in an unconscious state at a roadside in Kasel village on April 1 by the police. He breathed his last soon after being admitting to a private hospital. A report under Section 174 of the CrPC was registered by the police on the statement of Meera Bojihok, wife of the deceased. Meera after getting the post-mortem report lodged a fresh complaint with the district police alleging that her husband committed suicide as he was swindled of Rs1.5 crore by the accused in a flat dealing matter in Delhi. DSP Sucha Singh Bal said on the basis of the post-mortem report and other relevant documents, it had come to record that the accused forced Harkesh to take the extreme step as he was under great mental tension.

The fraud made him so poor that he had to leave Dehli and come to Chheharta, where he started working in a factory. He came to Kasel village, where he consumed some poisonous substance and died later.
