After 3 members of family die by suicide in Punjab’s Mohali, 5 relatives booked

On Friday, December 23, Anjana called Ramesh and told him that Suresh had consumed some substance, the complaint says. “I took my brother to GMCH-32, Chandigarh, where doctors declared him dead,” Ramesh alleged, adding that Anjana had told him about a suicide note. “I read the note and my brother blamed his in-laws for the suicide,” Ramesh further alleged in his complaint.

According to Ramesh’s complaint, after he completed legal formalities, he contacted Anjana but her phone was switched off. He tried his nephew’s phone but that was also switched off, Ramesh said.

“I went to their home and found that they were lying unconscious in the room. I took them to Civil Hospital, Phase- IV, where doctors declared them dead,” Ramesh told the police.

Acting on his complaint, the Phase XI police booked Suresh’s father-in-law Mehar Chand, mother-in-law Shanti Devi, brother-in-law Deepak and sisters-in-law Manju and Rekha under Section 306 (abetment of suicide) of the Indian Penal Code.
