Yes, by your act or mens rea you caused any body some harm then you will be held responsible. For example you have stopped talking to your wife and she felt insulted and committed suicide then you will be held punishable for offence of ABETTING SUICIDE under section 306 of IPC. If my answer is convincing then you may please give me Rank FIVE Star in the feedback format sent to your email box.
