Police in Mahoba district have made a significant arrest in a tragic case involving the death of a young BSc student. A man has been taken into custody and sent to jail, facing serious charges for allegedly driving the student to end her life.
Student's Tragic End After Alleged Harassment
The incident revolves around a female BSc student who died by suicide on December 30. Before taking the extreme step, she consumed poison. The case took a poignant turn as it was revealed that the student recorded a video message just before her death.
In this final message, sent directly to the accused via WhatsApp, she stated, ‘You wanted me to die; now your wish will be fulfilled. Now be happy, you are free. You troubled me a lot.' This digital evidence became a crucial part of the investigation, highlighting the alleged mental torment she endured.
Police Action and Arrest
The wheels of justice were set in motion when the grieving father of the student filed a formal complaint. Based on his account, the Mahoba police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the accused individual. The charges were severe: abetment of suicide.
Taking immediate action, Superintendent of Police (SP) Prabal Pratap Singh constituted special police teams with the mandate to locate and apprehend the suspect. The investigation led to a breakthrough on Saturday.
A team operating under the leadership of Station House Officer (SHO) Nanhe Lal successfully tracked down and arrested the accused. The location of the arrest was near the Jarauli canal culvert. Following standard legal procedure, the arrested individual was presented before a court, which subsequently ordered his judicial custody.
Legal Proceedings and Next Steps
Confirming the developments, SHO Nanhe Lal stated, "He was presented in court and later sent to jail." The accused now remains behind bars as the legal process unfolds. This arrest marks a critical step for the Mahoba Police in a case that has drawn attention to the serious consequences of harassment and mental abuse.
The police are likely to continue their investigation, building a strong case for the prosecution. The tragic death of the student underscores the urgent need for societal awareness and robust support systems to prevent such desperate acts.
