In his suicide note, the victim blamed his wife and her parents, who are residents of Rasool Garhi village, for forcing him to take the extreme step.

The victim’s mother, a resident of Ganapati Colony, Ladiya, said her son had married the accused four years ago, and the couple has a daughter. “His in-laws kept interfering in the couple’s marital life and harassing my son. Tired of the frequent quarrels, my son decided to end his life.”
