It also appears that thereafter, Sanchita went to the kitchen and committed suicide. The applicant is in custody since June, 2017. Investigation is complete and

3/4 charge-sheet is filed. Whether or not Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code would be applicable or not is a matter, which will be decided by the trial Court.
