The four have reportedly been booked for abetment of suicide under sections 306, 323, 504 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
“She [The wife] had fought with us and had asked my son that she wanted to stay in a separate house. So my son bought a flat in Kondhwa and the two started living there. Fed up of harassment by her, my son left and was living with us for about 10 months,” the report quoted the deceased’s father in his complaint as saying.
