Uncle Accused of Leading Niece to Suicide in Pune

Baner police in Pune have initiated the process to register a case against a local pharmacy store owner on charges of abetment of suicide. The accusation stems from the death of his 20-year-old niece, who was discovered hanging in a flat belonging to the uncle in Baner on January 28.

Initially, the police had registered an accidental death report. However, the niece's brother approached the authorities on Sunday, alleging that his maternal uncle had subjected his sister to mental and physical harassment. This prompted the police to investigate the case as abetment of suicide.
