citiesUpdated: Jan 23, 2020 22:48 ISTBARNALAThe police have booked two persons for abetment to suicide after a Barnala girl ended her life in Malaysia on January 16. She said her daughter took the extreme step as the accused were blackmailing her through online messages and calls. “We lodged a complaint with the police as well as on the 181 helpline, but to no avail. So, we sent our daughter to Malaysia in July 2019 for doing a beautician course. The duo managed to get my daughter’s contact number and continued to harass her by sending obscene messages, she alleged.
