The Tibba police on Tuesday arrested a woman constable for abetment to suicide after her husband allegedly ended his life after she developed illicit relations with another.
However, her male friend Manpreet Singh of New Subhash Nagar, who is also booked in the case, is absconding.
The accused constable was deputed at Tibba police station.
The FIR was lodged on the statement of the father of the victim.
