Police investigation revealed that Manoj wanted to return to his first wife. Two years ago, his second wife came to know about his first marriage, after which there were continuous disputes between the two. To escape these tensions, he staged a drama about his ‘death’.
Almora SSP Devendra Pincha said that it was neither an accident nor a crime, but a completely planned act. He said that preparations are being made to take legal action against Manoj for misusing police and administrative resources and misleading the officials. On Saturday he was handed over to his family in Delhi.
This case not only poses a challenge to the law, but also shows to what extent the complications of personal relationships can take a person on the wrong path.
