Separate suicide case in Malegaon

In another separate incident, Aniket Balasaheb Jagtap (27) allegedly died by suicide at Sane Guruji Nagar in Malegaon Camp due to marital discord and mental harassment.

According to reports, Aniket Jagtap had married Shruti Jagtap (22) of Panchsheel Nagar a year ago. Frequent quarrels began between the couple shortly after the wedding. It is reported that Shruti refused to live with Aniket and had even filed a police complaint against him. Consequently, Aniket had been enduring severe mental distress over the past few days. Driven by this stress, he allegedly died by suicide at his home.

Following the incident, Camp Police registered a case against Aniket’s wife, Shruti Jagtap, his in-laws and his aunt. So far his in-laws have been arrested.
