“On 10.11.2024, a telephonic message was received in police post that one Satbir, resident of Gurera, has committed suicide by consuming poison in the fields of Amrik, Sarpanch of village Dhani, Shilawali. On receipt of information, the police authorities reached the site where they noticed the dead body of Satbir lying in the field. Zilopati, wife of Satbir, her son Jaidev and 30-40 other persons were also present there. After waiting for some time, the wife of the deceased filed a complaint pointing therein that for the last five years her husband Satbir had been cultivating half share of land belonging to Suresh and Amrik, residents of Dhani, Shilawali. She also used to extend a helping hand to her husband who most of the times lived in the house situated on the field. After harvesting crops of cotton, nustard, cluster bean and gram, Pardeep son of Suresh and Vijender son of Amrik, brought it to their houses and sold the said crop of their own. Many a times, her husband requested Vijender and Pardeep to settle the accounts, but they kept on postponing the matter on one pretext or the other. She and her husband performed the marriage of their daughter in January this year and were going through extreme financial hardship, when Rs.50,000/- were given to her husband by the aforementioned two persons who also charged 10% interest over the said amount. Repeated requests made by her and her husband to Pardeep and Vijender to settle their accounts fell on deaf ears. Rather, they threatened and made it clear that they do not owe any amount and compelled her and her husband to clear the debt. On this count, her husband was under tremendous mental stress for the last 10-15 days and had confided in her that in case Vijender and Pardeep do not settle the account, he would be left with no other alternative but to commit suicide. On the previous day at about 2.00 in the afternoon, her husband returned back from the fields to his house in village Gurera. At about 8 p.m. in the evening, her son Jaidev left her husband in the field. Shockingly enough, next day in the morning, they heard that Pradeep-her husband had committed suicide by consuming poison. Immediately thereafter, they reached the spot and noticed that her husband had written the names of Vijender, Pardeep and mother of Pardeep on the wall of the room as being the persons responsible for his death. Primarily with this backdrop, she requested the police authorities to catch hold of all those who are responsible for Pardeep (her husband's) death, and to initiate appropriate proceedings against them. On the basis of said complaint, aforementioned FIR came to be registered.

During the investigation, police authorities visited the site, videography was got conducted, incriminating material, including the poison bottle lying at the spot, was taken into possession, photograph of the words written on the wall were also taken, statement of witnesses were recorded, post-mortem examination of the dead body was got conducted, after which it was handed over to the family members for performing last rites. On culmination of investigation, challan was filed.”
