Ashwini Digambar Sonawane vs The State of Maharashtra Through Senior Police Inspector Ambad Police Station, Nashik — 315/2026

Case Summary The Additional Sessions Judge, Nashik rejected the bail application of Ashwini Digambar Sonwane and others charged under BNS sections 108 and 3(5) for abetting suicide. The court found prima facie evidence that the applicants subjected the deceased to prolonged mental and physical harassment through insults regarding alleged impotency, denied child access, and falsely accused him of kidnapping, leading to his suicide on 14/02/2026. The court noted that applicant No. 1 explicitly refused to prevent the suicide when requested, and forensic evidence suggested possible murder rather than suicide, warranting continued investigation without bail.
