Imarti - Euthanasia?

I was just thinking, perhaps she was terminally ill or had a serious medical condition due to which she suffered. Her father alluded to it as well.

At first, I considered the possibility of a drug overdose but then I wondered if HS and she decided to relieve her of the pain and "help" her die sooner, i.e. they opted for euthanasia. She might have begged him to set her free as she could not bear it anymore.

This is why he says he killed her, because he did, technically but not with the intention to murder her. He says "usne praan tyaag diye". He also said that he had so much "moh" for her that it took her life, i.e. his love for her meant he could not bear to see her suffer like that. They had that kind of an insane, passionate love. She must have died in his arms in that case.

This would make everything that Sartaj Singh said about HS being guilty of culpable homicide actually be true, as well as Naeem Bi's stance on HS being innocent. He could not take the fact that his daughter had been shown the door to death sooner than it would have naturally happened, all he had was memories of her suffering in her last days. It would also mean that what HS says about him being responsible for her death is actually true, though not with malicious intent of course.

If this is indeed the case, then I would applaud the CVs for going this route in terms of her cause of death. Then again, I could be completely wrong and there may be other possibilities we could never have thought of. Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be fantastic.

Omg this scenario fits perfectly with everything that has been said!👏🏼🙌🏼

I thought about euthanasia too but then is it even legal in India? Is it allowed? If it is not then how did they even do it? Medicine (drug) overdose? Considering he was acquitted from the lower court, I am just wondering IF euthanasia is not legal in India then how would the court set Hanuman free...

I think passive euthanasia was legalized last year.

The question is, would this apply retroactively, since 8 years ago it wasn't made legal?

Okay when you talk about euthanasia, Guzarish (movie) comes to my mind... and if I recall correctly, the court even there had not allowed mercy killing...

I know it would be really interesting to see euthanasia handled by CVs but I get the feeling that it will become too much to handle without messing it up...

But then nothing else really makes sense too... oh well, 24 hours to go for us to find out!

This sounds like a great theory Jean!

I don't know what the laws surrounding euthanasia are in India, but would that still qualify as being culpable homicide? If yes, then wouldn't the doctor / hospital also be put under trial for this? Unless, it was done at home.. 🤔

This in itself is so heartbreaking, I don't know what the CVs can show to top this. 😭

A simple Google says only passive euthanasia is allowed i.e. if the patient is in the vegetative state i.e. in comma... "passively euthanized if the patient suffers from a terminal illness or is in a vegetative state"

"Active euthanasia, including the administration of lethal compounds for the purpose of ending life, is still illegal in India"

So far we don't know if Imarti was in comma... I am sure there is a strict definition of terminal illness too...

So what HS considered euthanasia might be considered murdered by his FIL.

Then again, I might be completely wrong about this whole thing, of course. 😉

Agreed, but then courts will also consider it murder! No? And the whole point of lower courts setting him free would go down the drain - unless... okay question, do we even know acquittal reasons? was it because of lack of evidence or was he proved innocent?

Yeah, you could be but hey, we still have one more day to fill in pages, let's keep speculating! 😆

I think he said it was thrown out of court - "kharij" was the word he used. No?
