Hello,
This question in itself is vague could you be more specific and state all the facts here, that would be really helpful.
In case your query is with respect to abetment to suicide
On the one hand, an abettor of suicide is defined in the IPC under Section 107 as:
-First: Instigates any person to do that thing; or
-Secondly: Engages with one or more other person or persons in any conspiracy for the doing of that thing, if an act or illegal omission takes place in pursuance of that conspiracy, and in order to the doing of that thing; or
-Thirdly: Intentionally aids, by any act or illegal omission, the doing of that thing.
Section 306 penalizes abetment of suicide. It reads: “If any person commits suicide, whoever abets the commission of such suicide, shall be punished with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term not exceeding ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.”
In order to convict a person under Section 306, not only must there be a clear intention to commit the offence, but there must also be an active act which steers the deceased to commit suicide. Such an act must be inveigled and push the deceased to seeing no other option, but to commit suicide.
