The State of Maharashtra vs Manisha Mahesh Mane Alias Manisha Musale — 132/2025

Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Manisha Mahesh Mane (132/2025) Outcome: Discharge application rejected; charges under BNS Section 108 (abetment of suicide) upheld. The Sessions Court in Solapur rejected accused Manisha Mane's application for discharge under BNS Section 250, finding sufficient material to frame charges. Mane, a hospital administrative officer, sent a threatening email on 17/04/2025 stating she would kill her two sons and immolate herself, making the Valsangkar family responsible. Dr. Shirish Valsangkar, a hospital director who had reduced her salary and withdrawn her powers due to alleged misappropriations, committed suicide the next day, leaving a note attributing his death to her threats. The court held that grave suspicion suffices for charge-framing and found temporal proximity between threats and suicide, rejecting defense claims that the apology and 25-hour gap negated criminal liability.
