Chandigarh hotel owner and 2 women accused of abetting suicide

A 25-year-old man was found dead in a Chandigarh hotel, and now the hotel owner and two women are facing legal trouble.
Before his death, the man messaged his family about being harassed and blackmailed by two women—one he'd met online.
These messages were his last words to them.

TL;DR

Forensics have checked the room

Police had to push past initial resistance from hotel staff to find the body.
Forensics have checked the room, and investigators are digging into the man's messages and call logs for answers.
A case has been filed under new criminal laws, and police are also looking into whether any hotel staff played a part. The investigation is still ongoing.
