Rajkot: Police booked man and his parents for allegedly driving a 20-year-old woman to suicide in Morbi district's Charavada village last month.
Ankita Chauhan had hanged to death at her house on February 12, leaving behind a suicide note stating that she took the drastic step as her to-be husband Kalpesh Kanjariya had called off their engagement after keeping physical relationship with her.
“Fearing societal humiliation, she committed suicide. We have booked Kalpesh, his parents and one more relative,” said police.
Ankita and Kalpesh were formally engaged with proper rituals six months ago. But police said that Kalpesh forced her into physical relations several times and then called off the engagement and marriage.
