Bareilly Police File FIR Against 10 in Tragic Suicide Case
Bareilly district police have registered a First Information Report against ten people following the alleged suicide of a young man. The case involves serious charges of blackmail and abetment to suicide under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Details of the Tragic Incident
The 28-year-old victim consumed poison on January 6. He later died while receiving treatment at a private hospital. His family members filed a formal complaint with the police, leading to the registration of the FIR.
According to the complaint, the man first met a woman through social media platforms. Their initial friendship slowly developed into what the family describes as a "relationship." Problems began when the woman and her relatives started pressuring him to marry her.
Allegations of Threats and Extortion
The family claims the accused individuals frequently visited the man's shop to pressure him about marriage. When he refused their demands, they allegedly threatened to file false criminal cases against him.
On December 27, the situation escalated dramatically. The accused reportedly abused the man verbally and demanded a massive sum of twenty lakh rupees from him. The very next day, when he failed to pay the money, the woman allegedly threatened to register a rape case against him.
These continuous threats and demands pushed the young man into severe mental distress. His relatives state he became increasingly troubled by the situation.
Further Complications Before the Suicide
In a disturbing turn of events, the woman allegedly staged her own suicide attempt by consuming an intoxicating substance. The family claims she did this to implicate the victim's relatives in legal problems.
Soon after this incident, the 28-year-old man consumed poison. He was rushed to a private hospital but could not be saved.
Police Investigation and Current Status
Izzatnagar Station House Officer Virendra Singh provided details about the case. He confirmed that some of the accused are family members of the woman, while others are her associates.
No arrests have been made at this early stage of the investigation. Police officials emphasize they are collecting evidence and examining all aspects of the complaint carefully.
The investigation remains active and ongoing. Authorities state they will take further action based on the evidence gathered during their probe. They are following proper procedures to ensure a thorough examination of all allegations.
This tragic case highlights the serious consequences of harassment and blackmail. It serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing mental distress caused by such pressures.
