F.I.R. also alleges that Anamika, since last four months, started loving with another boy and when his son i.e. Pawan tried to talk with Anamika, he was threatened by Sarfaraz whereby he went under depression, on account of which, he committed suicide. 4-It is argued by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is not named in the F.I.R. and he has been falsely implicated in this case on the basis of a suicide note wherein applicant's name finds place but in the said suicide note, no specific allegation has been levelled against him. Much emphasis has been given by contending that entire allegation of harassment and torture of the deceased is Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Siddharth Niranjan, Suraj Yadav Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Sahil .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s) against Sarfaraz, who is a named accused and allegation has been levelled against him in the suicide note, hence, case of the present applicant is distinguishable from the case of co-accused Sarfaraz.
