Moreover, the accused threatened to kill him if police complaint was lodged against them, the suicide note said.
Based on the suicide note revelation, Jaripatka PSI Bakal booked the three accused under Section 306 for abetting Amardeepsingh’s suicide and investigating the case further.
Dubious police working and goof-up:
The irresponsible and negligent working style of city police came to fore when the press release sent by them goofed-up the entire incident. The police release mentioned Amardeepsingh’s wife Nikki committed suicide. Based on the police information, Nagpur Today published the news on January 5 with title “Under stress, 40-year old woman ends life in Jaripatka, 3 accused arrested.”
The senior police officials should ensure that the press release or information provided to media contain correct facts.
