My father is threatening suicide all the time.


29-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
My father is threatening suicide on me and my mother. He feels that he isn't being respected which is why he wants to commit suicide. I don't want him to hurt himself. How do I get him to help? And legally how do I protect myself?

If he indeed commits what he dares you of then you people will find yourself in difficulty as it would amount to offence under section 306 of IPC provided he leaves behind a note to that effect. However, you should fortify yourself before hand.

Firstly you need to take proper care of your father and concentrate on his complaints and resolve the issue. Secondly to secure yourself you can make an application to the concerned police intimating about his threats of committing suicide. Finally you need to show him to a counsellor wherein he will be properly guided. regards

Write a Letter to Police Commissioner, Nearby Magistrate and also send letters to your Neighbor, that, in case, my Father commits suicide, you as his son should not be held legally responsible, as you are doing your best to protect him, to take care of him and to provide him with all best facilities.
