When a police officer receives information about a suicide or suspicious death, they must: notify the nearest Executive Magistrate, Proceed to the scene of the death, conduct an investigation in the presence of local residents, prepare a report detailing the apparent cause of death and any injuries, sign and forward the report to the District or Sub-divisional Magistrate, if necessary, the officer may send the body to a Civil Surgeon for examination, considering the conditions that allow for it.

Ma’am, your brother need to contact her parents if this issue can be solved on amicable grounds. Husband can also file a petition in court under section 9 of Hindu Marriage act, a remedy to call her back to stay with him. He can also approach the court for seeking a divorce decree on the basis of cruelty. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
