Tragedy: Woman filmed husband’s suicide in Thane

Authorities said on Sunday that a 29-year-old woman from Thane, Maharashtra, could face charges for allegedly aiding and abetting her husband’s suicide by recording the tragic incident rather than intervening.

A couple known for frequent domestic quarrels lived on the Wagle estate. The husband was reported to have taken his own life on the night of November 20 by hanging himself from a ceiling fan in their home.

The police, informed by the man’s mother, have registered a case and are investigating. The woman was charged under sections 105 and 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which cover culpable homicide not amounting to murder and abetment to suicide.
