Hyderabad: The Punjagutta police have arrested Pavani, the wife of a software employee, T Prashanth (who had earlier committed suicide on October 30th ), on charges of abetment to suicide. The arrest was based on his suicide note and an audio tape conversation between them that was leaked recently . The It has come to light that she refused to mend to her ways and rebuffed his request to stop her relations with the other man (Pranay Vemula), in a rather rude manner. Hurt by her indifferent behaviour, Prashanth hung himself at his residence in Srinagar Colony.
In a suicide note allegedly written by him, Prashanth had stated that his wife Pavani was into a relationship with one person Pranay Vemula in Bengaluru where she was working and that she cheated him multiple times and asked him to die.
Another audio clip of a conversation between Prashanth and his brother-in-law also went viral earlier on social media, where he told his brother-in-law of his intention to die as his wife was not listening to him and this had upset him and that he would rather die than face this humiliation.
The couple both software engineers got married in 2014 and were living together in Hyderabad. Prashanth ( an IIT Kharagpur topper ) and his family tried to counsel her to stop her relations, but she made it clear that she wasn't interested in living with him anymore.
Pavani was arrested when she came to the mortuary and the police have registered a case under Section 306 (abetment of suicide) of IPC.
