Abetment Ka Kahaaniya
criminal cuet_pg beginner pyq_discussionQuestion: Arnab Goswami's wife accused him of abetting his wife's suicide. Assume the FIR was filed 4 days after the incident. Arnab says he was not present at the time of suicide. Arnab's defence is that he was attending an IPL match on TV and was not in touch with his wife for 24 hours prior to the incident. Is Arnab guilty of abetment under section 306 IPC? Explain.
To solve this, you need to break down abetment under section 306 IPC. Section 306 IPC requires an intention to drive someone to suicide. Here, Arnab has to be shown to have such an intention. The fact that he was not present at the time of suicide is a good starting point. However, his prior intention counts - did he plan this? Section 306 doesn't require direct act. Maybe he just gave her a hint?

"Aap ko abetment ka kuchh tareeka samjhane mein sahayata karungi. Abetment ek crime hai jab koee vibhinn tarikon se kisi danyavadi ka karya ko badhavate hain. Udaaharan ke liye, jab aap kisi ko murder karne ke liye protsahit karte hain, lekin aap unhein hi nahi marwaate hain.
"Abetment ka concept bahut hi interesting hai. Abetment kya hai, iska matlab hai ek kisi aapni jansamanya jaankari se jyada samjhdar insaan ko dikhane ka kaam, jo koi galat karya karta hai.
