Five nabbed for abetting Class XII boy’s suicide

Two women among five persons have been arrested for abetment to suicide. Mohit, a Class XII student, was found dead on a railway track last month. Family members of the deceased had blocked the Alamgarh village bypass chowk in protest while demanding arrest of the suspects who forced their child to take the extreme step.

ASI Lakhwinder Singh from the Sadar police station said Guddu, Amardeep, Pradeep and two women identified as Mohini and Prema were arrested in this connection. He said a case had been registered against the suspects under Sections 108, 115(2) and 351(2) of the BNS at the Sadar police station here on the statement of Sanjay, brother of the deceased.

The complainant told the police that on the night of August 26, his brother Mohit went out with some youth from Alamgarh village, but did not return. The family started searching for him and found his body lying on the railway track next morning.

He claimed that Mohit had an affair with a girl of Alamgarh village. The girl’s family had come to their house and allegedly thrashed Mohit on August 26. The complainant said the suspects threatened Mohit of serious consequences if he ever tried to meet their girl again. Upset over the development, Mohit jumped before a running train and died, the complainant added.
