Mth after man ends life, wife & lover charged with abetment | Mumbai News

Mumbai: Chunabhatti police have registered an FIR against a woman, her alleged lover and an accomplice a month after her husband died by suicide on a complaint filed by her father-in-law, a retired police constable. Yadav Ratne claimed that his son Siddhesh was driven to end his life due to mental harassment by his wife Manasi, Yuvraj Jadhav and a man from Satara. Yadav had moved to his village in Digras, Yavatmal, after his retirement in Nov 2024, while his son, daughter-in-law, and two-year-old granddaughter lived in the govt-allotted residence in Chunabhatti. On April 18, Siddhesh ended his life by hanging. Yadav told police that there was domestic discord between Siddhesh and Manasi since their love marriage in 2020 due to her alleged extramarital affairs, particularly with Jadhav. On May 19, Yadav came to Mumbai and unlocked his son’s phone. He found a pre-recorded video and a written note stored as a photo. In the video, Siddhesh reportedly names Manasi, Jadhav, and a man from Satara, accusing them of pushing him to end his life and pleading that his child’s custody be given to his parents. The note and WhatsApp chats allegedly reveal that Yuvraj taunted Siddhesh, saying, “I slept with your wife, you die, and I’ll keep her happy,” and encouraged him to end his life.tnn
