Initially, the police had registered the incident as an accidental death case. However, investigations revealed that Pratiksha had been in a relationship with the accused, Niranjan, a resident of Battis Shirala in district Sangli. The investigation uncovered that Niranjan had recently married another woman while Pratiksha was away at PTS Nagpur for her training. Devastated by this, Pratiksha reportedly took her own life.
Following a complaint lodged by Shakuntala Adinath Bhosale, the deceased’s mother, police booked Niranjan under Section 108 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita for his alleged role in abetting the suicide.
