The bench was hearing a petition filed by a woman, who was booked for allegedly abetting the suicide of her father. The woman, a daughter from the deceased’s second wife, was accused of making repeated monetary demands from the father, for her mother.
The father had died by suicide on September 14, 2021 and had written a suicide note in which he accused the petitioner and his second wife for mentally harassing him by making monetary demands.
It cited an incident, wherein the deceased had decided to invest ₹2 lakh as a fixed deposit in the second wife’s favor.
However, the petitioner-daughter forced him to increase it to ₹5 lakh. He somehow managed to collect the amount but then the same was then increased to ₹15 lakh.
