Section 108 BNS | Mere Harassment Without Proximate Instigation Insufficient for Abetment of Suicide: MP HC
The Madhya Pradesh High Court granted bail in a suicide abetment case, ruling that general harassment without direct instigation or proximate action to encourage suicide does not satisfy the mens rea requirement under Section 108 BNS. The judgment reinforces that abetment requires active encouragement close to the act of suicide, not just prior mistreatment.
