SP MLA Zahid Granted Bail in House Help Suicide Case
A politician named Zahid, who is part of the Samajwadi Party, was accused of making his house helper, a young woman named Nazia, want to end her life.
The police looked into the situation after she died.
The politician and his wife were accused of encouraging her suicide.
The court looked at the evidence, and the judge said there wasn't enough proof that Zahid had done anything to make Nazia commit suicide.
Also, the court granted bail to Zahid and his wife.
The court noted that the wife informed the deceased's grandmother shortly after the incident.
