HISTORICAL FACTS: Planter ends life - The Untold Story

A planter ended his life at Gonihaklu in Koppa taluk on Sunday leaving a death note in which he alleged his wife and her relatives responsible for his decision. Aravind, 45, is survived by wife Rekha and two children.

Recently, Rekha had filed a complaint with the Jayapura police alleging that she was being tortured by her husband and his parents. Jyothi, Police Sub-Inspector of Jayapura, had summoned Aravind and his parents for an inquiry. It is said that Aravind and his parents were deeply disturbed by this.

In his death note, Aravind mentioned the police inquiry and accused the officer of arriving at a conclusion without verifying facts about the case from both sides. The officer, according to the death note, suggested that Aravind make arrangements for his wife’s separate stay at Jayapura. However, he was not ready to leave his aged parents and stay away from them.
