AHMEDABAD: A woman from the Vasna area of the city on Saturday filed a police complaint stating that her brother committed suicide on June 27 because he was aggrieved with his wife’s affair with another man. His family found the suicide note about two-and-a-half months after his death, from his daughter’s notebook.
Vimla Dodia, 43, a resident of Shivam Flats in Vasna, has filed an FIR with the local police. She said her brother Kamlesh Vala had married Rekha Vala, a resident of Nadiad, about 15 years ago.
For about two years, Kamlesh and Rekha did not have cordial relations as she used to fight with him over petty issues, said Dodia in her FIR.
She said that Kamlesh told her about five months ago that Rekha was having an affair with a man from Sarkhej with whom she constantly talked on the phone.
Whenever Kamlesh objected to her extramarital relationship, she used to fight with Kamlesh and accused him of harassing her.
Dodia said in the FIR that Rekha had left Kamlesh and their 10-year-old daughter on June 24. Disturbed, Kamlesh stayed at Dodia’s place for some time.
On June 26, he left his daughter at his elder sister’s house. When this sister visited him on June 27, his house was locked from the inside. She along with others broke the door, entered the house, and found him hanging from a ceiling fan.
About a week ago, the victim’s family found the suicide note in his daughter’s notebook in which he said his wife and her boyfriend were harassing him, forcing him to commit suicide.
Vasna police have registered a complaint of abetment to suicide against Rekha and have begun an investigation.
