Mumbai: It is often husbands who face a case of abetment to suicide when wives are found dead with a suicide note. But in a recent Thane case, it was a wife who had to seek protection when the police registered a case against her and the sessions court refused her any protection from arrest in the suicidal death of her husband . The alleged suicide note, the police said, was written on a Rs 100 stamp paper. It alleged that the in-laws had ill-treated him and hence he was committing suicide. On Monday, the Bombay high court came to the aid of the accused, Priya Ghosh, a 30-year-old housewife, and granted her anticipatory bail for a surety of Rs 25,000. The court order prevents the police from arresting and taking her into custody. Justice Ajay Gadkari granted the pre-arrest bail after hearing her lawyer S V Marwadi, who argued that the only role attributed to her in the FIR was that she had sought a divorce from her husband, who was not in a position to financially support her. The high court has directed that she attend the Shrinahar police station in Thane from December 17 to December 21 to aid the police probe. Dipankar, the husband, a goldsmith at Zaveri Bazaar in Pydhonie, had allegedly consumed poison and died on November 6 after she refused to speak with him and denied him entry into the house. His nephew filed a complaint of abetment to suicide and criminal intimidation against Priya and her parents. The sessions court earlier this month granted a pre-arrest bail for Rs 30,000 to her mother but rejected Priya’s plea. The police had arrested her father on November 12 and he remains in custody. The couple had married in 2006 and have one child. Her court documents said that it was her father who bought them a house and put it in her name, a fact, her husband allegedly did not like. It was an unhappy matrimony and in October 2010, she had informed the police that the dead Dipankar had threatened her. She alleged that Dipankar had disappeared for 15 days in October 2010 and she had filed a missing person’s complaint too. Later he continued to stay at the home from time to time but on October 12, 2015, she sent him a notice, through her lawyer, for maintenance and divorce. Later that month, she said that she filed another non-cognizable complaint with the police when he demanded Rs 90,000 from her and allegedly threatened her when she could not give it. On November 6, she alleged that he came to the house, kicked the door and began abusing, and when she did not allow him to enter, he consumed poison that night and was declared dead when his nephew took him to a hospital in Thane.
