Live-in Partner Held for Woman’s Suicide Nagpur: Authorities in Nagpur have registered a case against a 46-year-old man accused of abetting the suicide of his live-in partner, a 51-year-old numerologist named Reshma Rewatkar. The incident occurred in the Tatya Tope Nagar area, where Rewatkar, who had divorced her husband in 2019, was residing with the accused, Shashank Gajbhiye. Police investigations revealed that Gajbhiye had long harbored suspicions about Rewatkar’s character, subjecting her to repeated harassment, physical abuse, and psychological torment. The alleged abuse escalated on April 9, when Gajbhiye reportedly assaulted and tortured Rewatkar again. Unable to endure the emotional and physical trauma, Rewatkar jumped from the second floor of her residence late on April 10, leading to her death. Initially, the police had registered an accidental death report at the Bajaj Nagar police station. However, following a complaint from Rewatkar’s daughter, the authorities invoked Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which pertains to abetment of suicide, against Gajbhiye. The case highlights the severe consequences of domestic violence and emotional abuse, particularly in relationships where power imbalances exist. Rewatkar’s family has since sought justice, emphasizing the need for stricter legal measures to protect vulnerable individuals from such atrocities. The police have begun a thorough inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Rewatkar’s death, including the nature of her relationship with Gajbhiye and the extent of his alleged mistreatment. This incident has sparked discussions about the prevalence of domestic violence and the importance of legal safeguards for victims.#nagpur #bajaj_nagar #tatya_tope_nagar #shashank_gajbhiye #reshma_rewatkar
