Chennai Man Arrested After High Court Upholds Conviction in Wife's Suicide Case
A 35-year-old Chennai man, Raja, was arrested after the Madras High Court upheld his conviction for dowry harassment and abetment of his wife Sudha's 2016 suicide. Initially sentenced to 10 years and fined ₹15,000 by a Mahila Court in 2022, his sentence was reduced to three years by the High Court in August 2026. Raja had absconded following the ruling but was apprehended by Triplicane police and remanded to judicial custody.
