Agra,

01 March (HS): The death of Manav Sharma, an IT business employee from Agra who

reportedly committed himself over marital discord, has sparked a wave of

anxiety across India. Sharma’s sister

said that a phone call implied his wife caused his grief, preventing him from

dealing with divorce procedures.

Sharma’s sister first believed that emotional anguish caused his

suicide. However, information from his

phone suggests that his wife’s provocation played a key part, as she vigorously

opposed divorce. She stressed the need

for legal involvement to prevent similar tragedies. Sharma’s father filed a FIR after his son

broadcast a live video blaming his wife for his approaching death. Suraj Rai, DCP, acknowledged that the complaint

was started after a video surfaced on social media, promising an inquiry into

all charges and any required legal action.
