Case Against Moneylender Couple In Woman's Suicide Case

The Kerala police named a couple as accused in the case of a 46-year-old woman who died by suicide after they allegedly threatened her over money lending in Kottuvally in Ernakulam district. Asha Benny died by drowning, a day after she was allegedly threatened by Bindhu and her husband, Pradeep Kumar, who live in the neighbourhood. On Tuesday, Kottuvally resident, Benny, had borrowed over Rs 10 lakh from Bindhu, who demanded a high rate of interest. 

However, despite repaying more than Rs 20 lakh, Bindhu and Pradeep continued to demand additional money, a relative said.

Asha, who was allegedly distressed over the situation, first attempted suicide by injuring herself. Following the incident, Asha and her family approached the police, who held discussions with Bindhu and Pradeep, a retired police official. However, after the discussion, Bindhu and Pradeep allegedly went to Asha's house on Monday night and threatened her again, Asha's husband, Benny, said.
