2/5 accused used to come to her house and abused her father, brother and other family members and demanded money and used to torture her father for not returning the money and pressurized him to sell his land at a lower price and threatened to kill her father and brother, thus her father was not able to suffer the torture and thus ended his life.

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the informant. It is next submitted that the allegation in the FIR is that petitioner along with accused persons abetted in suicide of the father of the informant. It is further submitted that father of the informant had taken a loan of Rs. 27 Lakhs from the petitioner out of which an amount of Rs. 8,73,000/- was returned in between 04.04.2023 to 31.07.2023 and an amount of Rs. 4,10,000/- was returned in between 15.07.2022 to 14.03.2023.
