Ludhiana Man's Death: Police Register Abetment Case
10 Oct
Summary
- Police registered a case of abetment to suicide four months later.
- Deceased allegedly consumed poison after financial dealings went sour.
- Complaint filed by brother after initial inaction by police.
Ludhiana police have registered a case against five individuals for abetment to suicide and criminal conspiracy. This action follows an inquiry initiated four months after the death of Kulwinder Singh, a resident of Chandigarh Road, who allegedly consumed poison. Kulwinder Singh passed away on June 28 during treatment after consuming a poisonous substance on June 23 at a restaurant near Cheema Chowk.
Based on a complaint by Kulwinder's brother, Kanwaljeet Singh, the accused Satish Juneja, Anoop Behal, Deepika Kohri, Neeraj Attar, and Rajneesh Kaur were booked. Kanwaljeet Singh stated that a suicide note found in Kulwinder's car implicated the accused, claiming they were responsible for his brother's decision. He also noted initial police inaction, prompting him to escalate the matter to the police commissioner on July 9.
Investigating officer ASI Subhash Raj indicated that Kulwinder Singh had business dealings with the accused and had provided them with blank cheques. The investigation suggests these cheques were misused, leading to financial losses for Kulwinder. The case has been registered under Sections 108 (abetment to suicide) and 61(2) (criminal conspiracy) of the BNS. No arrests have been made to date.
