Summary
- Five individuals were charged with abetment to suicide following a house deal dispute.
- Allegations include harassment, demands for money, and threats over the disputed property.
- The victim reportedly died by suicide shortly after moving into the newly purchased house.

In Chandigarh, five individuals have been charged with abetment to suicide in connection with a dispute over a house deal in Sector 52. The allegations stem from a complaint filed by Anamika Basak Mehra, whose husband, Gurpreet Singh, purchased a house on June 18, 2026. He was assured the property belonged to the seller, Vikram Singh, and was free of loans.
The family moved into their new home on June 27, 2026. However, Vikram's brother, Balwinder Singh, along with others, allegedly locked the house the same day, asserting their own claims and revealing the property was mortgaged multiple times. Anamika reported persistent harassment, including financial demands and threats.
Despite police intervention, the harassment allegedly persisted. Tragically, Gurpreet Singh reportedly died by suicide at his home on August 24, 2026. Doctors at Civil Hospital, Sector 45, pronounced him dead shortly after he was brought in.
