Hagawane Family Custodial Remand Extended in Suicide Case
A woman named Vaishnavi died, and now the police are investigating.
Her family says she was harassed, and the police are looking into this.
The court has decided to keep some of the people they think are involved in custody for a longer time to ask more questions and find out more information.
This includes her husband, his mother, and his sister.
The police also want to find a man who is missing and get some phones to see if they can find more clues.
The state commission for women is looking into why it took so long to file a case related to Vaishnavi's sister-in-law.
Vaishnavi Hagawane's relatives accused her husband's associate and sister of harassment.
Custodial remand of Shashank, his mother, and sister was extended until May 29.
Custodial remand of Rajendra and Sushil was extended to May 31.
The state commission for women demanded a probe into the delay in filing charges.
Vaishnavi allegedly died by suicide after alleged dowry harassment.
