Thane, Feb 19 (PTI) A 23-year-old man from Chhattisgarh allegedly died by suicide in front of his live-in partner following a dispute in Maharashtra’s Thane district, police said on Thursday.
The incident took place late Tuesday night in the Dombivli (East) area under the jurisdiction of the Manpada police station.
