A court has ordered a case to be registered against a woman and her husband after a young man committed suicide, citing sexual exploitation and blackmail, police reported on Sunday.

The Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division) Anamika Chauhan instructed the police to act under Section 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against Priyanka Chauhan and her husband, Jitendra Chauhan, both from Godma village.
