Woman held after boyfriend commits suicide

June 2, 2012

Mumbai, June 2: A 24-year-old married woman was arrested on Friday after her 20-year-old boyfriend committed suicide allegedly because she forced him to continue with their illicit relationship. Prasant Gangude consumed poison at her house on Wednesday.

The woman stays with her husband and daughter in a slum at Khar (E). Gangude, who used to stay in the same neighbour, had been in a relationship with the accused for the past two years, said the police.

Gangude was a labourer, while his father is a supervisor in a security agency and his mother worked in a garment factory but left the job recently.

Last year the Gangudes shifted to Diva in Thane, but still, the two used to be in touch with each other. The woman would speak to Gangude over phone and often called him over to her home when her husband would be away, said the police. Gangude reportedly wanted to break up with the woman but could not, said his family; his parents alleged the woman had threatened to level false allegations against him if he tried to distance himself from her. So, he was forced to carry on with the affair, the family claimed. According to police, two days before he ended his life, Gangude told his mother that he wanted to marry someone else, but he was too afraid to do so.

On Wednesday, the woman called him to her home, where the two reportedly had an argument. While still at her home, he consumed poison, the police said. Alarmed by the woman's cries, her neighbours took Gangude to V N Desai hospital where he died.

The youth's family alleged that the woman, who was married, threatened to level false allegations against him if he tried to distance himself from her
