Father Files Complaint, No Arrests Yet
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 Denies Allegations, Blames Husband’s Alcohol Addiction
Sharma’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.”

The woman also shared WhatsApp messages with the victim’s sister, where she had reached out for help when Sharma threatened suicide. In one of the messages, she wrote, “Didi, please do something, he will kill himself.” However, his sister reportedly replied, “Leave him be, go to sleep.”

Police Investigation Underway
According to Agra’s top police official, ASP Vinayak Gopal, no arrests have been made yet. He confirmed that the police were informed about the incident by the military hospital in Agra.

“We received information that a man named Manav was brought to the hospital in a deceased state. It was later found that he had died by hanging. The post-mortem was conducted after multiple attempts,” he said.

Sharma’s mobile phone was locked, but his sister provided the password. When officers unlocked the device, they recovered the emotional video where he spoke about his troubled marriage.

The police continue to investigate the case while the tragic incident sparks conversations about mental health and relationship pressures.
