Nagpur: MIDC police have registered a case against six persons for allegedly abetting the suicide of a 21-year-old man after opposing his relationship with a 20-year-old woman. The youth allegedly faced assault and threats from the accused, who wanted him to end the relationship.

The deceased has been identified as Vishal Vilas Jawade (21). He had been in a relationship with the woman for the past four years, and the couple reportedly wanted to get married. However, members of the woman's family allegedly opposed the marriage, citing the complainant's different community.

According to the police complaint, the accused visited the complainant's house on July 12, 2026, and started abusing her. When Vishal intervened to defuse the situation, the accused allegedly assaulted and verbally abused both of them.

They allegedly warned Vishal to end the relationship, threatening to either kill him or drive him to take his own life. The accused also reportedly declared that they would never allow the couple to marry.

A day after the confrontation, on July 13, Vishal allegedly consumed a poisonous substance in the Hingna area. He was rushed to Shalinitai Meghe Hospital, where he died during treatment.

Following an inquiry into the incident, Vishal's mother approached the police. MIDC police registered a case on October 29 against six persons identified as Manisha Khirdkar (44), Mangesh More (33), Roshan More (35), Madhav More (60), Gaya More (58) and Akash Khirdkar (22).
