Deceased Yashoda Rana, a resident of Nalla Sopara, with her family, during happier times
A telecom agent from Jogeshwari has been charged for abetment to suicide a day after a housewife killed her son, 5, and herself.
A telecom agent from Jogeshwari has been charged for abetment to suicide after a 28-yearold Nalla Sopara woman jumped from the Bhayandar creek bridge clasping her five-yearold son on Monday.
In what has turned out to be a horrid story of deceit and blackmail, the accused, Yusuf Valsania, 35, lured the victim, Yashoda Rana, into joining his business, conned her into giving him jewellery, and started blackmailing her when she demanded it back.
Around 2.30 pm Monday, police found the bodies of Yashoda and her son Vikas tied together using a dupatta. A suicide note, with the phone number of Yashoda's husband Hoshiyar Singh Rana scribbled, was also recovered.
"The note said that the victim's husband was not to be blamed. She mentioned a telecom agent from Jogeshwari named Yusuf Valsania, saying he was threatening to ruin her life by claiming she had an extra-marital affair with him. On the other hand, her husband had come to know of the missing jewellery and was demanding it back," an officer from Navghar Police Station said.
Valsania has been booked under Section 306 (abetment to suicide) of the Indian Penal Code and remanded in police custody till Thursday.
The investigation
Inspector Khanderao Khere from Navghar Police Station said that the investigation has revealed Yashoda was introduced to Yusuf Valsania by an acquaintance she approached for a job. "Yashoda and her husband were struggling to survive on the salary he earned as a school teacher, and she was desperate to contribute to the family income. Valsania promised her commission on every subscription she got him, and she started working for him in September 2013," Khere said.
Two months into the job, Yashoda asked Valsania for a loan and he suggested she give him her mangalsutra to pawn, police said. "He gave her very little money, and when she demanded that he return the mangalsutra, Valsania threatened to call up her husband and claim they had an affair. She stopped working for Valsania in December," Khere said.
Yashoda's mother-in-law Dharma Rana said in her statement that Yashoda had told her about harassment by Valsania, and she had advised him to let Hoshiyar Singh handle the matter. However, things worsened between the couple after Hoshiyar Singh insisted she get back the mangalsutra first. "She mentioned in her note that it was better to die rather than suffer a loss of reputation," an officer from Navghar Police Station said, adding that Yashoda's husband will not be made an accused.
