Teacher Arrested in Husband's Suicide Case

A teacher from Kalyan, aged 42, has been apprehended by the Khadakpada police in connection with her husband's death by suicide. The incident, which occurred nearly a year and a half prior, now sees the victim's wife arrested following the discovery of new evidence. The deceased, 44-year-old administrative officer Vivek Mane, was found to have died by suicide at his Kalyan residence in August 2023. An initial inquiry treated the case as accidental death.

However, allegations of sustained mental harassment by the victim's wife, Namrata, and her brother, Akshay Manore, emerged from the deceased's family. They asserted that Vivek had confided in them about the pressure he was enduring. A critical turning point in the investigation arrived with the forensic analysis of Vivek's mobile phone. Recovered call recordings and messages reportedly contained threatening content, corroborating the family's claims and prompting the registration of an abetment to suicide case.

Both Namrata and her brother were arrested by Khadakpada police based on this digital evidence. Authorities are awaiting further forensic and cyber analysis reports to solidify the case. The parents of the deceased had previously voiced suspicions, demanding a thorough investigation due to concerns of extreme mental duress forcing their son's actions. The ongoing investigation aims to identify any other individuals responsible.
