Months ago, Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash ended his life by writing a 24-page suicide note, a techie from Uttar Pradesh's Agra allegedly died by suicide earlier this week, leaving behind a distressing video blaming his wife of one year.
‘Law needs to protect men’
Manav Sharma, who was an employee at the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), was found hanging in his home on February 24, officials said.
According to the police, the techie's sister found the video on his phone two days after his death.
With a noose around his neck, Sharma recorded a nearly seven-minute harrowing video in which he accused his wife of being involved with another man romantically. "This is for authorities. The law needs to protect men, or there will be a time when there will be no men left to blame. My wife was involved with another man...But what can I do? It does not matter anymore," he said.
He paused for a while, then added, "I don't have a problem with dying. I want to go. Please think about men. I'm sorry, everyone. Please, someone should talk about men. They become very lonely. Everything will get better once I go. I have attempted suicide even before."
Police complaint filed
Following the incident, Sharma’s father filed a police complaint at Sadar police station, holding his daughter-in-law responsible for his son’s death. However, no arrests have been made so far. The case has drawn comparisons to a similar suicide in Bengaluru, where an IT professional, Atul Subhash, ended his life due to relationship issues.

Wife refutes claims
However, the late techie's wife denied all accusations of infidelity and claimed that her husband was struggling with alcohol addiction. She alleged that he often drank excessively and had attempted suicide multiple times in the past.
“He used to drink a lot and had tried to harm himself several times. I saved him three times. He also assaulted me after drinking. I informed my in-laws about this, but they ignored my concerns,” she said. Regarding the claims of an affair, she clarified, “That was before our marriage. Nothing happened after we got married.”
Multiple such cases have come to light in the recent past. This incident drew parallels to the recent Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash's suicide case. The 34-year-old deputy general manager of a private firm, died by suicide in December. He also shared a video on social media along with a suicide note that sparked outrage. He left behind a 24-page suicide note, accusing his wife and her relatives of harassment.
