MP High Court Rejects Bail, Accepts WhatsApp Messages as Dying Declaration in Suicide Case
The Madhya Pradesh High Court's Indore bench rejected bail for three men accused in the suicide of 25-year-old tribal man Santosh Ausari, citing WhatsApp messages he sent shortly before his death as a crucial prima facie dying declaration. The messages named the accused, who allegedly harassed Santosh over an agricultural land dispute. The court upheld the prosecution's case, supported by statements from the deceased's father and brother, while the accused denied involvement and claimed false implication.
