If any FIR is filed police would issue you notice to record your statement 

 

apply for and obtain anticipatory bail from sessions court 

 

in your defence take the plea that you  had no contact with your aunt nor talked to her

If there is no note of suicide and allegations raised against you. Than don't make any unnecessary issue as of now. Anyway you're staying long away. Check what your cousin take further steps in the issue of property and business partner related.

See if any FIR is filed against you, you have to seek anticipatory bail to avoid arrest, also you can file a quashing petition before high court since there is no primary or no evidence against you.

Hello

Intention is a essential ingredient to establish offence under Section 306 of IPC

 

Few case examples are below. You can always use them to contest your case

Sanju alias Sanjay Singh v. State of Madhya Pradesh– in the case the Apex Court quashed the charge sheet for offence under section 306 of IPC to hold that the words uttered in a quarrel or on the spur of moment, such as “to go and die” cannot be taken to be uttered with mens rea. It is in a fit of anger or emotion.

S.S. Chheena vs. Vijay Kumar Mahajan and another- In this case, the Supreme Court made it clear under Section 306 of IPC. The Court ruled that:

  • Abetment involves a mental process of instigating a person or intentionally aiding a person in doing.
  • Without a positive act on the part of the accused to instigate or aid in committing suicide, conviction cannot be sustained.
  • There has to be a clear mens rea (Intention) to commit the offence.
  • It also requires an active act or direct act which led the deceased to commit suicide seeing no option and that act must have been intended to push the deceased into such a position that he or she committed suicide.

 

Gurcharan Singh vs. State of Punjab– In this recent case, the Supreme Court observed that the basic ingredients of section 306 of IPC are suicidal death and the abetment thereof. To constitute abetment, the intention(Mens Rea) and involvement of the accused to aid or instigate the commission of suicide is imperative.

Remoteness of the culpable acts or omissions  in the intention of the accused to actualize the suicide would fall short  to attract  offense under section 306 of IPC

This is just an overview for your understanding, rest I have to study your case to give final conclusion.

Are you in India now?,

if yes, did you take AB ?

If yes, you can challenge the false case on merits.

You may even produce documentary evidences to prove that her daughters were fighting with her for property and also hey had disputes going on for quite some time.

You challenge the false allegations on merits and in the support of documentary evidences in your possession.

Your complaint against  her daughters may not be entertained especially when there is already a criminal complaint pending against you.

You have no other option than to challenge the false case on merits and documentary evidences to your support.

- If you have apprehension of false case against you then move for bail with directions to police to give notice to you if any case is registered against you 

- If you have valid grounds with proof to prove they are guilty of mother suicidal than go ahead with complaint to police.

SINCE Aunt was your business partner, you can file a Counter-FIR on aunt's daughters for suspected intimidation, threatening, abetting suicide etc.... by following:

1. You can file a Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like Cheating, Intimidation, Fraud, Breach of Trust, Mischief etc.... against the person/s, supported with all relevant supporting Documents & Witnesses.

2. IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet.

3. File point no. 1, before the Indian Consulate in USA and request to forward the same to the relevant Indian City Police Commissioner's office for investigation & prosecution.

First of all you have to arrange your bail in this regard in case you are not willing to go for this then file a writ petition in High Court for quashing under sec 482 crpc of the FIR in case High Court agrees to your innocence it may quashed the FIR and you will be saved from this however as the case is already registered you have to apply for the bail as well otherwise it might create problem and police will be trying for your arrest in this case

Have you been discharged from the case filed against you?

If not then do not venture into such fancy ideas out of over anxiety. 

It may backfire and you may be trapped in the trouble once again. Better wait for everything to be settled. 

After that you can plan any action you may desire.

- Since you was not in India at the time of your aunts suicide , then your involvement for the same doesn't arise , or otherwise they are having to torture her through other modes. 

- You should lodge a complaint against her daughters before the police and higher official , after mentioning all the details of property disputes etc , and further indicate that they are trying to extort amount in the garb of said suicide . - Further , if there is already an FIR lodged against you , then file a quashing petition before the High court to cancel the said FIR against you , and also submit the said complaint with this petition as well. 

-  Dont give complaint to know the reasons of suspect , but give the reasons that they are blackmailing you in the name of suicide.
