A 17-year-old girl attempted suicide by hanging at her home in Nashik's Pinglenagar area on August 11, allegedly after being mentally harassed by her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend. The Mhasrul Police Station registered a case on August 23 against Dishant Ahire and Khushi for abetting the suicide of a minor.
According to the police, the victim had befriended Ahire while in the tenth grade. He later began a relationship with Khushi, ignored the victim, and told her to forget him. Khushi also allegedly threatened the girl. The facts emerged after the victim's mother filed a complaint.
Police Sub-Inspector Mhaske is investigating under Senior Police Inspector Atul Dahake. The process to arrest both suspects is underway.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The case falls under Section 306 of the IPC (abetment of suicide), which requires proof of direct or indirect instigation. Indian courts have often ruled that constant harassment or humiliation by a partner can constitute abetment. Since the victim is a minor, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act may also apply if any sexual element emerges in the investigation. The police will need to establish a clear link between the accused's actions and the suicide attempt. The next step is the arrest of the two suspects and their production before a magistrate.
