A woman and two of her friends have been charged for allegedly abetting her husband's suicide in Thane city of Maharashtra, police said on Sunday.
The main accused, Suvarna Sontakke, got married to Gajanan Sontakke (32), a resident of Ambewadi locality in Thane, in 2013 and the couple had two children.
The woman started working since July this year and developed friendship with a man in her office, to which her husband objected, a police spokesperson said.
