Mob-lynching case Tabrezs wife threatens to commit suicide if Section 302 not incorporated in FIR against accused

The wife of Tabrez Ansari, the man who was lynched in June, on Monday demanded the incorporation of Section 302 in the FIR lodged against his alleged murderers and threatened to commit suicide if her demand were not met. Ansari's wife Shahista Praveen along with her mother and uncle Moulana Masrur Aalam met the District Collector (DC) and the Superintendent of Police (SP) and demanded a copy of the postmortem examination and viscera report of the deceased. Ansari's wife Praveen threatened to kill herself if the government does not reinstate the murder charge against his alleged murderers. She said, "I will commit suicide if the murderers do not get punishment, and Section 302 is not slapped against them and they are not hanged to death." Praveen said the "world knows how he died" and alleged that the DC and the SP did not listen to them. "The world knows how he died. I visited the offices of DC and SP but no one is ready to listen to us. If justice is not done, I will kill myself either in DC or SP office," she said. Last week, the police dropped Section 302 of the IPC against in its charge sheet against 11 accused in the lynching case, saying that the murder case could not be made based on the findings of the post-mortem examination report. The police have charged the accused under Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder). Tabrez was assaulted by a mob on the suspicion of committing a theft in Kharsawan district of Jharkhand in June this year. After four days, he succumbed to his injuries at a hospital.
