In a case similar to the Bengaluru techie`s suicide last December, a 30-year-old tech firm employee from Agra has ended his life, leaving behind a video accusing his wife for taking the extreme step.
The Defence Colony resident, who worked as a manager with a tech firm in Mumbai, got married on January 30 last year. He ended his life on Monday.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident after registering a case under Section 108 (abetment of suicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
According to a complaint filed by the victim`s father on Thursday, the man and his wife came to Agra on February 23.
The man then accompanied his wife to her parents` home, where he was reportedly insulted. He returned home and died by suicide around 5 am the next day.
Before taking the extreme step, the man recorded a video on his mobile phone, blaming his wife for driving him to his death.
As the video went viral, his wife released a counter-video, alleging that the man was abusive, especially when intoxicated, and had made suicide attempts previously, which she thwarted.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Vinayak Bhosale, said the man`s post-mortem was conducted on February 24, but no formal complaint was filed at the time.
His sister later saw the video on his phone, leading to the registration of a case.
“We will consider the wife`s version of events as well. Appropriate action will be taken based on our probe,” Bhosale said, acknowledging that the couple`s relationship was troubled.
The incident bears similarities with the death of a techie in Bengaluru on December 9, 2024. He, too, ended his life after recording a video, claiming harassment by his estranged wife.
