He had left a suicidal note alleging that his wife is responsible for his suicide as she was having extra marital affair and her sister Jyoti was helping her. On the basis of suicidal note both were arrested on 1st June. The nighbours had given affidavit that Sheetal is innocent,she was getting trouble from her husband from the beginning of marriage. On 1st June they were sent to police remand for seven days by the Magistrate Court , Vasai. Ms. Pal a social activist and Ms. Sandhya Gohle from Forum against oppression of women had contacted Sakhya Women Guidance Cell to intervene into the matter. On 6th June the social worker Ms. Chatush Singh went to meet them in Nalasopara police station when they were in the police custody and got 5 minutes to talk to them. They informed the social worker about the case, when the social worker asked if they need a legal consultant, Jyoti said her husband has already engaged a lawyer.
The Social worker spoke to the husband of Jyoti over phone. She found that he was little confused over legal process. The social worker coordinated the advocate Kusum who was handling the case and got information. Accordingly she guided Jyoti’s husband.The advocate told the social worker that the bail petition has been moved in Session court, Vasai and it was fixed for hearing on 12th June . On 12th June the social worker phoned the advocate to know update of the case then she told that notice has been issued and it has been fixed for 14th June. On 14th June the social worker visited the court of Session Judge RS Joshi where bail petition was pending but that day Judge was overloaded with already pending petitions so it was again put for hearing on 15th June. On 15th June they both got bail on the order of furnishing one surety and 15000 bail bond for each.
