'Go hang yourself' not necessarily abetment of suicide: Karnataka HC

Karnataka High Court has declined to categorise the statement ‘go hang yourself’ as abetment of suicide.

 

Justice M Nagaprasanna addressed the complexity of determining abetment of suicide in cases involving contentious statements.

 

The recent ruling stemmed from a petition involving allegations of abetment of suicide against a man in connection with the death of a priest in a church in Udupi in coastal Karnataka.
