Rajkot: Son of a community religious leader was booked on charges of abetting the suicide of a married woman along with five-year-old son in Vadinar town of Khambhaliya taluka of Devbhoomi Dwarka district late on Monday night.
Vadinar Marine police booked Baudin Pirzada, son of religions leader Sadrumiya Pirzada, for threatening and abetting the suicide of 27-year-old Shirin Jabbar Chamadiya on January 9.
Shirin was found hanging at her house in Vadinar on January 9 in the morning by her in-laws. Her husband is currently working on a port in Dubai for the past one month.
According to police, deceased’s father Karim Sanghar (52) found call recordings on her mobile phone where Baudin is heard threatening Shirin for a relationship with him. Baudin is also heard threatening to kill Shirin’s father, brother and defaming her entire family if she did not concede to his demands.

About eight months ago, the duo had eloped but Shirin had returned within a day to her husband’s house. However, she forgot her mobile phone with Baudin. Shirin’s husband and in-laws had pardoned her she was back to living with them.
However, Baudin wanted to take advantage of Shirin’s mobile phone and created a fake Instagram account in her name and uploaded her pictures with nasty comments. Baudin also sent the pictures to Shirin’s relatives.

Police said that Shirin was on phone with Baudin till 2.30 am on January 9, just before she ended her life. The call recording showed the Baudin was threatening and abusing Shirin which forced her to take the extreme step, said PSI Chavda.
