Subsequently, the complainant's wife went to her son's room and noticed that her son had hanged himself . Immediately, the son of the de-facto complainant was brought down and noticed that he had died. The complainant immediately rushed home after receiving information and found his son's dead body. Later they noticed some papers in the deceased room, which revealed that he had borrowed money from loan apps and invested it in online betting apps, gaming apps and also deposited Rs.4,00,000/- in QNet Company, thereby lost amount due to fraud, as such requested the police for taking necessary action.
On receipt of the said complaint, the Police registered case and the petitioner herein is arrayed as accused No.10. The allegations against the petitioner are that she is also a motivator in QNet Company and she induced innocent persons to invest in the QNet Company, thereby abating the deceased to commit suicide, as such the de-facto complainant requested the police for taking necessary action against this petitioner also.
