In Nagpur, a 55-year-old factory owner has died by suicide following a reported dispute with his wife. The conflict is believed to have been sparked by a phone call from a female employee. In response to the incident, police have filed a case of abetment of suicide against the employee involved. The case highlights the potential personal and professional tensions that can arise in workplace relationships.
On Aug 24, the woman employee allegedly called Ramteke’s wife and told her that he had sent her Rs 2,000, according to police.
She added that she would “complain” if such an incident occurred again. She rushed to the spot and found her husband hanging, police said. The next morning, a tenant residing below the factory informed Ramteke’s wife that the factory door was locked from inside. During the investigation, police recovered a note purportedly written by Pramod. In it, he alleged that the woman employee had been feeding his wife false information, leading to repeated conflict between the couple. Based on the note, Ramteke’s wife lodged a complaint accusing the employee of driving her husband to take the extreme step. New Kamptee police subsequently registered a case of abetment of suicide against the woman. The accused has not been arrested so far. The investigation is being supervised by senior inspector Mahesh Andhale.
