The police in Worli have booked three men on the charge of abetment to suicide for the death of a 32-year-old woman. They are all on the run, police said. The men had cast aspersions on her character and abused her, following which she hanged and killed herself, the deceased’s husband told mid-day.

Police said Gauri Pardeshi, the deceased, lived with her husband, their two daughters and her mother-in-law in their third-floor flat at Panchsheel CHS. On January 16, Gauri had gone downstairs to pick flour from a mill there when its owner’s son allegedly sought to know her mobile number.
