Jammu, April 30 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, the Forest Magistrate, Jammu, Yahaya Firdous Ahangar has granted another 15 days judicial remand of Captain Chataniya Bhatwadaker, for abetting the suicide of his wife, Capt. Megha Razdan.

Capt. Chataniya was arrested after the investigations revealed that he instigated his wife to commit suicide. While granting judicial remand, the forest magistrate directed the investigating officer to produce the accused before the court after completion of the remand period. Earlier a court, on April 16, had remanded Captain Bhatwadekar to a 15-day judicial remand following a police investigation that found him guilty of the charges.

It is pertinent to mention here that the lady officer was found hanging in her army quarters at Kunjwani on July 1 last year, after which police began probe into the mysterious death. Megha’s death had initially sparked a controversy after the recovery of a suicide note, saying she was harassed by her seniors in the army. The probe later zeroed in on Bhatwadekar, who tried to escape investigation by cutting his tongue and fabricated the circumstances by enacting a drama of kidnapping. Police had arrested Bhatwadekar on April 1 for abetting the suicide of his wife.
