State vs Sooraj Pancholi — Jiah Khan death case

A case involving the suicide of a Bengaluru police officer's wife, where a death note and digital evidence raised allegations of abuse. The original chargesheet dropped the murder charge but retained other offences. The officer approached the Karnataka High Court in connection with the case.

Eshwarappa Poojari, who was serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife, died by suicide while incarcerated at the Dharwad Central Jail. He had been in custody for approximately 14 years at the time of the incident.

A married man was accused of abetting the suicide of a nursing student. The Karnataka High Court refused to quash the case, finding that the complaint and chargesheet prima facie depicted a pattern of harassment and control that made trial necessary.
