Mere allegation of harassment not enough to slap abetment to suicide charge, says SC
The Supreme Court ruled that mere harassment allegations are insufficient for abetment to suicide charges. Conviction requires proof that the accused instigated the deceased's fatal step. The court emphasized the need to establish mens rea, a clear intent to provoke suicide, through specific actions or behaviors beyond mere harassment.
