Moodbidri, Jan 4: A non-resident Indian was arrested on Tuesday January 3, relating to his wife’s suicide the previous night. Leena Lobo (28), working as nurse in Beltangady government hospital, had ended her life on Monday night at her home.
Leena had married Joseph Alwyn Pinto from Shirtady in October, 2010. Pinto, who works abroad, had left to pursue his employment after marriage. Leena used to commute between her husband’s home and Beltangady every day.
Reportedly, Pinto, who is on a visit to his native place since December 21, questioned Leena after he saw her talking to a man. It is gathered that he suspected her character. Frustrated over this development, Leena committed suicide by mixing some pesticide in her dinner on Monday night, it is said.
The local policemen, who registered a case based on a complaint filed by Leena’s parents, arrested Joseph Alwyn Pinto and produced him in court, upon which he was remanded to judicial custody.
