CALCUTTA NOV 25 2008
The high court today rejected the anticipatory bail plea of a woman fearing arrest for her husband’s alleged torture and death.
Mihir Sarkar of Dhubulia, Nadia, hanged himself in his in-laws house this month.
Ananya,25, who was earlier accused of beating up her mother in-law, had apparently charged her husband and in-laws with torture when they protested. Mihir was arrested follwing that complaint, bt his wife withdrew the case and went back to her in-laws.
“When he became a mental wreck, she wanted to have him treated from her parents house.” Mihir’s brother said.
A lawyer described the case as “rare because the husband was allegedly driven to a death”. “Mihir had called a friend and revealed how he was being tortured.” He added.
Manik Das said Mihir had called him the night before he committed suicide.
Ananya’s lawyer Sekhar Basu said she had “nothing to do with the death”.

It is a touching incident. The case seems to be involving 1. Elderly abuse (in this case mother in law) and torture of the husband. It will be important to follow these two angles.
