NEW DELHI: In an incident reminiscent of the Atul Subhash case , a 33-year-old techie from Uttar Pradesh, Mohit Yadav , has died by suicide, allegedly due to mental harassment by his wife. In a video message recorded before his death, Yadav cited the lack of legal protection for men as a key reason behind his decision.
"By the time you get this video, I will be gone from this world. If there was a law for men, maybe I wouldn’t have taken this step. I couldn’t bear the mental torture by my wife and her family. Mom, Dad, please forgive me," Kumar said in the video. "If I don’t get justice even after my death, then let my ashes be immersed in a drain," he added.
He claimed that his wife Priya Yadav threatened him to register his house and property in her name and accused his mother-in-law of making his wife abort their child. The TOI could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.
"My wife threatened me that if I didn't register my house and property in her name, she would implicate my family in a dowry case. Her father, Manoj Kumar, filed a false complaint, and her brother threatened to kill me," he said.
This comes only two days after a 30-year-old woman in UP was booked for allegedly driving her husband, Mohit Tyagi, a 34-year-old media professional, to suicide through constant harassment and financial demands. According to the FIR filed by Mohit's brother, the trouble began soon after Mohit married Priyanka from Sambhal in December 2020. She allegedly took off with gifted jewellery and lodged false complaints against him and his family.
Last year in December, Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old Bengaluru techie, died by suicide in his apartment. Before his death, he left behind a 24-page note and a video message, in which he accused his wife and in-laws of relentless harassment. He alleged they had filed eight false police complaints against him and demanded Rs 3 crore to settle a divorce, along with an additional Rs 30 lakh for access to his son. Following a complaint lodged by Atul’s younger brother, Bikas Modi, the three accused were arrested.
