Woman Sentenced for Abetting Suicide and Extortion

Woman Sentenced for Abetting Suicide and Extortion

A woman named Kinjal Patel was found guilty by a court and sentenced to five years in jail.

This was because she was involved in a case where a 27-year-old man named Vishal Shankar Gohil died by suicide.

The court found that Kinjal and her husband, along with another man, had been blackmailing and extorting money from Gohil.

They had also been in a relationship with him, which caused him a lot of stress.

Gohil left a suicide note naming the accused.

The court looked at the evidence, including the suicide note and statements from witnesses, and decided that Kinjal was responsible.

She was also fined Rs 50,000, part of which will go to Gohil's family.

Her husband and the other accomplice were acquitted.
