Delhi Cafe Owner Suicide:  A 40-year-old Delhi cafe owner claimed in a video, he took just before he killed himself that he was "extremely tortured" by his wife and in-laws, who, he said, were not following the court's instructions in their divorce case. Puneet Khurana died by suicide on Tuesday at his home in the Model Town neighbourhood of northwest Delhi by hanging himself from a ceiling fan.

Police said in a statement that Khurana's family members had accused his wife and in-laws were harassing him. The allegations have not yet been confirmed, according to investigators.

Before hanging himself to death, Khurana reportedly recorded a 54-minute video on his cell phone, according to police sources, reported PTI. In a roughly two-and-a-half-minute snippet of the video that is being circulated on social media, Khurana claims to be depressed and outlines the reasons behind his actions.

On Thursday, the clip surfaced online. According to the official, the police would use this footage in their ongoing investigations.

"I am recording my final statement. I am about to commit suicide because I am extremely tortured by my in-laws and my wife. We have already files for a mutual divorce and signed before the court with some terms and conditions," Khurana says in the video.

"We at least committed to respect the court and fulfil those conditions within the period of 180 days. We have already passed 90 days and other 90 days to go. But my in-laws and wife are already pressuring me with new set of conditions which are beyond my capacity. They are asking for another Rs 10 lakh and I don't have the capacity to pay. I cannot ask my parents because they have already suffered enough because of me," Khurana says in the video.
