The investigation agency had failed to take cognizance of the incident reported to the police by deceased’s mother Sandhya in a complaint. Investigation officer (IO) produced papers and has informed about the specific allegations of adultery between Priyanka and a certain William Mathew. This act amounts to instigation, abetment for the commission of suicide by Vikram. The police failed to take action on the basis of complaint received.”
