So much of confusion and chaos has been caused regarding Sushant Singh Rajput’s heartbreaking demise. I would not like to be dragged into a subjective and biased chorus. It is such a sensitive matter where a universally loved individual lost his life. Undoubtedly the family, friends, relatives, near and dear ones are affected the most. I will be sharing through this talk a legal and objective dimension to this tragic matter assuming that it was a death by self but caused by #abetment. So let me discuss, what will have to be proved in order to establish that someone actually did some acts or omissions which led to #SushantRajput demise.
The offence of abetment of suicide is stipulated in Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). It reads as - "306. Abetment of suicide - If any person commits suicide, whoever abets the commission of such suicide, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine."
The expression “abetment” is defined in Section 107 of the IPC. It reads as is in front of your screens.
