The aforesaid Crime is registered on the report given by the mother of the Deceased that, on 24/02/2025, the Applicants came to the field of the Informant and threatened the Deceased that, they will kill his parents and they will not allow the Deceased and his family to reside in the village. Due to the said act of the Applicants, the Informant's son committed suicide by hanging himself in a shed in the agricultural field. Since the incident was reported to the Police after a period of two [02] months, the aforesaid Crime came to be registered.
