The girl can be prosecuted for abetment of suicide under Indian penal code. File a criminal case on her in the jurisdictional police station and submit all the audio recordings and notes.

306. Abetment of suicide.—If any person commits suicide, whoever abets the commission of such suicide, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.

Yes. You can file a police complaint with the police under Section 306, IPC against the girl enclosing the audio CD and note as if any person instigates any other person to commit suicide and as a result of such instigation the other person commits suicide the person causing the instigation is liable to be punished under Section 306, IPC. Before a person be convicted of abetting the suicide of any other person, it must be established that such other person committed suicide.

For any other doubts, feel free to call.

If Police officer concerned (SHO), refuses to Register complaint/FIR, than by virtue of section 154(3), a written Complaint may be send by Post to the Superintendent of Police or the Commissioner of Police (in Metropolitan areas); If Superintendent of Police or the Commissioner of Police (in Metropolitan areas) is satisfied that the Complaint discloses cognizable offence, he may himself investigate the case or cause the investigation of the case by any Police officer subordinate to him.

Even after that if no any action has been taken then an application can be made under section 156(3) read with section 190 of Code of Criminal Procedure to a judicial Magistrate/ Metropolitan Magistrate thereby praying that police to register the FIR., investigate the case, file charge-sheet or report.

Firslty, it is very unfortunate to hear that your part of life has given away his life because of someone.

Secondly, yes on the ground of it, initially FIR would get registered for sure.

Thirdly, but, later on to convict her there must be beyond reasonable proofs which can prove her guilt as now the sole dying declaration may not be the ground for sole conviction in the cases like yours.

2. The section reads as under: 306. Abetment of suicide.—If any person commits suicide, whoever abets the commission of such suicide, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine;

3. Therefore collect all the evidences and file an FIR against the girl immediately;

4. Also make sure the case is expedited to attain justice for your brother.
