A woman was taken into custody after creating a disturbance at the SDM court in Almora and threatening suicide, police said. She was later sent to a one Stop Centre after officers intervened at the Collectorate.

The incident followed an earlier warning by the woman near the SSB office. Police said she climbed a tree in the morning and threatened to end her life after the man she had been living with returned to his first wife and children.

Police intervention and counselling

Women police officers reached the spot after receiving information and brought her safely down from the tree. Police then arranged counselling for the woman and the man involved.

The counselling did not resolve the dispute. The woman later reached the Collectorate and began creating a disturbance inside the SDM court, where she again threatened suicide.

4 women police officers were needed to escort her to the police vehicle. 2 officers held her legs while the other 2 held her arms before she was placed in the vehicle and taken away.

According to police, the woman has one child, while the man has 2 children. Police said both had left their respective spouses and begun living together in Gurugram.

The man later returned to his village in the Lamgara area of Almora and began living with his first wife and children. Police action followed after the woman’s warnings and the disturbance at the Collectorate.

Legal action against the man

Janki Bhandari, in-charge of the women’s police station, said the woman had been sent to a one Stop Centre. She also said the man was arrested under Section 151 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, or BNSS, and produced before a court.

The case remained a subject of discussion across the Collectorate premises during the day. The available report records police intervention, counselling, the woman’s transfer to the one Stop Centre and the man’s court appearance. It does not provide a further court decision.

Conclusion

Police safely removed the woman from the tree and later took her into custody after the Collectorate incident. She was sent to a one Stop Centre, while the man was arrested under BNSS Section 151 and produced before a court.
