RAJKOT: Over three months after a man had committed suicide by electrocuting himself, Gandhidham police have booked four persons, including the wife of the deceased, for allegedly driving him to the brink of killing himself.
Police booked Dhanbai Maheshwari, wife of suicide victim Prahlad, Narsinh Koli, Ravi Shankar Maheshwari and Mahesh Maheshwari on Monday.

Prahlad’s brother-in-law (sister’s husband) Lalji had given an application of complaint to the police recently alleging foul play after the latter committed suicide by giving himself electric shocks at his house in Gandhidham.

"Later, Lalji learnt that Prahlad got to know about Dhanbai’s illicit relationship with Narsinh, Ravi and Mahesh. After he got to know, the four accused started threatening and harassing him. Prahlad couldn’t take the torture any more and electrocuted himself on September 13," said sources in Gandhidham B-Division police station. The accused men frequently went to his house and issued threats, police said.
