30-year-old Nagpur man arrested for 'abetting' girlfriend's suicide
A 30-year-old man has been arrested in Nagpur for allegedly abetting the suicide of his girlfriend, police said.
The action was taken after the woman's father lodged a complaint against her boyfriend at New Kamptee Police Station, PTI reported.
The accused and his girlfriend had studied at the same college, and the woman had informed her family about their relationship, said a police officer.
On December 29, the accused allegedly told her on phone that his family opposed their relationship and hence he could not marry her.
The couple had a heated argument and there were a total of 43 calls between them that day, the police said.
Around 5 pm, the 28-year-old woman went to her room. When her brother returned home around 5.30 pm and called her, there was no response. He looked through the window and saw her dead.
It was suspected that the woman took the extreme step because the accused refused to marry her, the officer said, adding that a case was registered against him under section 108 (abetment of suicide) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Further probe was on, he added.
