UP: Sambhal man kills self; leaves behind suicide note accusing wife, her family of harassment
Sambhal (UP), Mar 4 (PTI): A 30-year-old man allegedly killed himself on Tuesday in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal district, with his family claiming that he has left a suicide note behind accusing his wife and in-laws of harassment, police said.
However police said that they are verifying whether the suicide note matches his handwriting.
According to his family, Gaurav Kumar, from Mausampur village in Ainchoda Kamboh area, consumed a poisonous substance on Sunday, following which his condition deteriorated, and he died during treatment at a hospital on Tuesday.
Based on a complaint complaint filed by Gaurav's father, Krishnapal Singh, an FIR has been registered against his wife, Priya, her mother and brother, and an investigation has been launched into the matter, police said.
Krishnapal alleged that his son had married Priya, a resident of Alinagar, Sonakpur in Moradabad district, a year ago. Soon after, disputes arose between Gaurav, his wife, and her parents.
Priya eventually left her marital home and returned to her parents, he claimed.
She allegedly demanded money from Gaurav and threatened to file a dowry harassment case if her demands were not met, Singh alleged.
Despite several attempts to reconcile, Priya refused to return, causing his son immense mental distress, he added.
On the day of the incident, Gaurav allegedly wrote a suicide note before consuming poison. He was taken to a private hospital in Amroha, where he died during treatment, police said citing the complaint.
In the note, Gaurav held his wife Priya and her family responsible for his death, stating he had suffered injustice and was taking his life due to their harassment, Singh claimed.
Circle Officer (CO) Asmoli Kuldeep Kumar said initial investigations suggest the suicide was a result of domestic discord.
An FIR has been lodged against Priya and two others under Section 108 (abetment of suicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), he said, adding that police are verifying whether the suicide note matches Gaurav's handwriting.
Further investigation is underway, Kumar said.

Akeal Hosein bosses powerplay overs with 'skill and mental fortitude'
New Delhi (PTI): For a spinner who bowls majority of his overs in the powerplay, Chennai Super Kings' West Indian import Akeal Hosein relies as much on mental fortitude as his skills to excel in the most unforgiving phase of the game.
With just two fielders in the deep in the first six overs, the margin for error is miniscule and the pressure is sky high.
However, Hosein thrives in that tense environment. The left-arm spinner returned with frugal figures of 3-0-15-1 in the powerplay to play a crucial role in his team's eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in an IPL match here on Tuesday.
"You need both of them (skill and mental toughness). Especially when you come upon pitches that aren't conducive to spin and it's just about being disciplined as well," he said.
"Having two fielders out in the power play. It's not a job that you can go searching for wickets or you can be too greedy. It's just about sticking to the plan," he explained.
Hosein got the all-important wicket of an in-form K L Rahul, who was foxed by the West Indian as he stepped out to smash him for an inside out six.
Hosein's inclusion in the playing eleven after not being picked in the initial phase of the tournament has allowed CSK to win more games. On Tuesday, the pitch offered him a bit of help and he ended up dominating the batters.
After the win over DC, Hosein was asked about his recipe for success in the powerplay.
"...it's a bit scripted because you only have two guys out so it's just about being disciplined and trying to do the job for the team. At the end of the day if you don't get wickets and you bowl economically in the power play, that's a damn good job you've done for the team," said Hosein.
He has taken seven wickets in five games at an impressive economy rate of 7.25.
Fully aware that the batter is a mere couple of hits away from putting the pressure back on him, Hosein says practising for high-pressure situations helps him stay in the present.
"I think homework is very important. You want to have that head-start when you come up against whichever batter you're going to face. And like I say it's just about making assessments as quickly as possible.
"You might come up on a pitch that is spinning. You might come up against one that isn't spinning. Thankfully I can spin the ball. So it's just about picking which deliveries will give you the most success on a particular day and against a particular batter," said Hosein.
He got rid of Rahul first ball from the other end, something that was decided by captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. Post powerplay, Noor Ahmad took over the mantle from Hosein and maintained the pressure on DC batters.
"Getting the opportunity to bowl first for me is just about again making that assessment as quickly as possible and then passing on that information to Noor or even to the seamers as well if it was a bit of spin or if it's gripping or whatever the case is.
"So conversations with myself and Noor have been fantastic. Really happy for him that he's getting some success," he added.
