Save Indian Family Member Pushkar Singh committed suicide being unable to bear torture and extortion. In spite of repeated requests and press conferences, Indian parliament and feminists oppose any punishment to criminals who abuse legal provisions to create havoc on lives of innocents. Today, Pushkar is no more with us.
May his Soul Rest in Peace!!

Man kills self Posted online: Thursday , February 07, 2008 at 03:21:17 Lucknow, February 6 A 30-year-old man, Pushkar Singh, committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan at his home in Jankipuram area of Vikas Nagar, on Wednesday. In a suicide note, addressed to the Allahabad High Court, Singh alleges that he was framed in a dowry case by his wife Vinita and her relatives, due to which he had to spend time in judicial custody for four months. The Vikas Nagar police registered a case later in the day. During the investigation, if we find it necessary to question Vinita, we will definitely record her statement,†said BP Singh, Station Officer, Vikas Nagar.Pleading innocence and holding his wife responsible for the extreme step he was taking, Singh's note states: I was sent to jail after a false dowry case was lodged against me by Vinita and her family, who had demanded Rs 14 lakh as a compensation. Neither my father nor I had seen such a big amount in our lives. We even sold our house to contest the case. According to reports, Singh married Vinita about two years ago and lived in Allahabad since. Early last year, his wife left him and started living with her family. A case under Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 498 (A) (cruelty by husband or relatives of husband) and 504 (intentional insult) was lodged by Vinita and her relatives before she left him. In the note, Singh wrote he was in the Naini Central Jail from September 29 to December 24, 2007. Shishupal Singh, Singh's brother-in-law, said he was disturbed ever since he released from jail. The court case constantly haunted him. After he was bailed out, he was living with his mother, younger sister and a physically-challenged brother in a rented house in Jankipuram. The family had their own house in Indira Nagar, which was recently sold to meet the legal expenses, he added. While he searched for a job, he drove a three-wheeler for a living. A few days ago, he received a notice from the court and since then, he stopped stepping out of the house, he said. In the note, Singh further wrote: I would also like to request Vinita not to harass my family in future. It was my mistake to marry her and I am repenting it by sacrificing my life. |
