A 25-year-old Bhopal man allegedly took his life on late Friday night after continuous harassment from his wife and in-laws that took a toll on his mental health. In a video that is now circulating on social media, and the centre of police investigation, the victim accused his wife and her family of pushing her to take the grave step.
The victim, identified as Abhishek Bachle, who was a resident of Gautam Nagar and lived alone near his parents’ house in Shanty, worked as a private driver. According to a report by Jagran.com, the deceased posted a video on Facebook before taking his life. His father rushed to his place after watching the video, only to find his son hanging lifeless. Police said he hanged himself from the ceiling of his room shortly after posting the video on social media. In the video, he apologised to his parents and accused his wife and in-laws of causing him mental distress.
Ashoka Garden police have registered a case in the respective sections and a detailed investigation has been launched to determine the circumstances that led to the extreme step based on the content in the video. Ashoka Garden police inspector Hemant Srivastava said that Abhishek had a love marriage. "Family members alleged that his wife used to quarrel at home every day. Some time ago, she had also filed a case against Abhishek at the women’s police station. This is what mentally disturbed Abhishek," Srivastava said.
