Ludhiana: A man allegedly committed suicide after he was reportedly slapped by his girlfriend in Ludhiana district of Punjab. Meanwhile, police have arrested the woman and charged her with abetment to suicide.

The deceased has been identified as Gurdeep Singh (30). Gurdeep's father Nachhtar Singh said his son, who used to work in Dubai, returned home 2.5 years back.

"When Gurdeep was in Dubai, he used to send money to the woman identified as Rajwinder Kaur, a resident of Ranwan village, as he was in a relationship with her," a report in Times of India said quoting Nachhatar Singh.

In his police complaint, Nacchatar said that when his son demanded his money back, Kaur used to fight with Gurdeep.

On September 28, Gurdeep went to Kaur's house to demand return of his money. "After sometime, Kaur visited our house and grabbed my son from his neck and slapped him on face and abused him. She said she doesn't owe him any money. After the incident, Gurdeep cried and said he was insulted and will die," alleged Nachhatar.

In the evening, Gurdeep consumed some poisonous substance. As his condition deteriorated, he was rushed to Ludhiana civil hospital where he succumbed.

Later, cops from Macchiwara police station reached the spot after being informed about the incident. Police said they are probing the case. Gurdeep's body has been sent for post-mortem.
