The Story in Brief
Mumbai police have registered a case of abetment of suicide against two women after a 24-year-old law graduate jumped to his death from his 13th-floor apartment in Bandra East. The victims mother told police that the women threatened to frame him in a police case, leaving him severely stressed.
The man lived with his parents and worked from home. His mother said his friends informed her on August 6 that he had been in a relationship with one of the accused while studying in Bangalore. After the relationship soured, the woman and her older sister began threatening him. The mother received a text on her younger sons phone threatening to lodge a complaint. While she was on a call, the man locked himself in his room and jumped. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The Indian Opinion
This case will fuel polarised reactions: some will assume the women are guilty of driving a man to suicide, while others may dismiss the threats as empty. Both sides risk jumping to conclusions. The law must weigh evidence of systematic harassment and whether the threat to file a false case was a credible weapon. The police investigation must answer one question: did the accused intend to cause such distress that suicide became the victims only escape?
