Being extremely frustrated, it is stated that she had also committed the murder of two children both aged 2 years by suffocating them and later, committed suicide. The entire incident took place on 28.01.2023. Thereafter, the investigation had to be done to find the actual role as to who has causing death of two young children and committing suicide by the deceased.

3.The learned counsel for the petitioner pointed out the alteration report filed by the respondent seeking to alter the first information report from 174(3) Cr.P.C to Section 306 of IPC and pointed out that there was no demand for dowry, but rather it was only a dispute which had arisen and which had caused drastic steps to be taken by the deceased. 4.At any rate, let the investigation proceed further. The report of the RDO very specifically speaks about the dispute between the petitioner and the deceased.
