A man named Anant Garje, who works as a personal assistant to a minister in Maharashtra, has been arrested for allegedly pushing his wife, a doctor named Dr. Gauri Palve, to commit suicide.
Garje has asked the court to let him out on bail, saying the accusations against him are not clear and are based on emotions and a family fight.
The court has asked for more information and will decide on January 19.
Dr. Palve's family says she was tortured and harassed by her husband, but Garje says there is no proof of this.
The court will now decide what to do next.
