Indian actress' boyfriend arrested after she commits suicide - why?
Article here. Excerpt:
'Following the arrest of Suraj Pancholi on charges of abetting his girlfriend Jiah Khan's suicide, the Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF), a non-funded non profit NGO fighting for men's rights, gender equality and family harmony, has lashed out at the “skewed" abetment to suicide law in India.
In a release, the foundation has argued that in no other country does such a law exist and wants the government to bring in checks and balances to prevent its misuse and points out the following discrepancies:
1. Suraj Pancholi did not point a gun at Jiah's head and force her to commit suicide. Breaking up with a girlfriend is not a crime. Reportedly, Suraj also tried to get Jiah to a psychiatrist after she attempted suicide eight months back. Why did Jiah's mother, Rabiya Khan, not take her to a psychiatrist then?
2. Wives and in-laws are hardly arrested when a husband commits suicide, but a husband and his family are sent to prison and presumed guilty until proven innocent when a girl kills herself.'
