Police in Chhindwara have arrested the husband and mother‑in‑law of guard Chandakishore Raghuvanshi following the suicide of his wife Preeti, based on a suicide note and a complaint from her family.
The body of Preeti Raghuvanshi, the wife of security guard Chandakishore Raghuvanshi, was discovered in Chhindwara after she allegedly took her own life. Authorities say a handwritten suicide note was found at the scene, and her family from her parental home lodged a formal complaint alleging foul play.
Based on the note and the family’s grievance, the Chhindwara police registered a case against Preeti’s husband, her mother‑in‑law, and two sisters‑in‑law. The investigation led to the arrest of the husband and the mother‑in‑law, who were taken into custody for questioning.
Both arrested individuals have been produced before the local court, where the magistrate ordered them to be remanded to jail pending further investigation. The case is now under the jurisdiction of the district court, which will decide on charges and trial proceedings.
The incident has drawn attention to domestic disputes in the region, prompting local authorities to urge families to seek mediation and to report any threats of self‑harm promptly.
