The deceased was the resident of Desaiganj tehsil from Gadchiroli. Investigations revealed that Pourima’s parents had fixed her marriage to Sachin Shinde, a peon working at the local court one-and-a-half-year back. It is alleged that Sachin was evading the issue of marriage for a long time. It is suspected that this might have forced Pournima to take the extreme step.
Pournima used to repeatedly come to Bramhapuri JMFC court to meet her to be groom and pursue him for marriage. Other staffers in the court too were well aware of the denial from the groom’s side and Pourniam’s insistence for marriage.
A case of abetment to suicide under section 306 of the IPC has been registered against Sachin Shinde. Further investigations into the case are on, informed Ravindra Singh Pardeshi, SP, on Tuesday.
