  "account": "On Sunday, a 32-year-old woman in Nagpur took her own life during a live video call with her longtime partner, who remained connected to the call for 23 minutes after her death, according to police. The couple had been together since 2015, but the partner allegedly abused her physically after repeatedly promising to marry her. The woman's mother reported the incident to the police, leading to the filing of a case and the dispatch of an investigation team to Pune to arrest the 34-year-old partner, who is currently pursuing a PhD in Pune. The accused has been charged with abetment to suicide. The woman, also from Amravati, worked for a private firm in Nagpur since December 2025 and resided with a friend. The 34-year-old partner visited the woman's mother with the intention of proposing marriage, but her parents opposed the union. Despite this, the man's family remained silent as they continued meeting the woman in Nagpur before ultimately refusing to marry her. The woman's mother reported that her son-in-law resorted to blackmail, threatening to expose her intimate photos on social media if she did not give in to his demands. In her desperate plea, the woman warned her partner that she intended to end her life during the video call on Sunday.",
