Article here. Excerpt:

'Anand Pilania's 30-year-old son committed suicide, alleging harassment by his wife and her relatives, but this is not the end of the ordeal for the 54-year-old man.

Faced with dowry allegations within two months of his son's death, adding to Pilania's woes is his daughter-in-law's complaint to the police that his son subjected her to unnatural sex.

Anand Pilania, father of 30-year-old deceased Rakesh Pilania, claims that his daughter in-law has been trying to entangle them in legal hurdles and is making a mockery of her husband's death.

Rakesh Pilania, a banker and an IIT alumni, had committed suicide on October 5 last year. He jumped from his apartment's balcony located in an upscale locality in Gurugram.

His family alleges that he committed suicide out of fear of being implicated under Section 498A of the IPC (cruelty against wife by husband or his relatives).'
