7. In the course of the investigation, the Investigating Officer recovered a suicide note left behind by the deceased. In the suicide note, it has been stated as under;

"I am taking this extreme step due to continuous harassment at the end of my in-laws. Past one and a half years, my wife is at her parental home and whenever I visited her parental home to bring her back to her matrimonial home, she insisted for my undertaking in writing. I had very petty disputes with my wife, on account of which, she left her matrimonial home and has gone back to a parental home, and she is now refusing to come back at her matrimonial home. When I asked for the custody of my son, my wife demanded an amount of Rs. 10,00,000/- from me and my family. At present, I am residing all alone at Surat. My parents have already handed over my right of the share in the ancestral properties. I have already taken cash from my parents and, therefore, I am left with no other interest in their estate. At present, I am unemployed. I have no job or any business. I have lost all my money due to personal expenses. My wife is having some amount given by my parents, including the gold. M
