‘Throw my ashes in drain if justice not done to me’: Now, engineer commits suicide after being harassed by wife in Uttar Pradesh's Etawah, VIDEO goes viral

Etawah (UP): An Engineer hanged himself and committed suicide in a hotel in the Civil Line area of Etawah district in Uttar Pradesh, allegedly after being tortured by his wife and her family members, a senior police officer said here on Sunday.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Sanjay Kumar said that a video has also been recovered before the suicide, in which the Engineer blamed his wife and many people from her family for his suicide.

He said that Mohit Yadav (33), the Engineer had committed suicide by hanging himself in room number 101 of the Jolly Hotel in the Civil Line area. "A video has surfaced regarding his suicide, in which the Engineer is blaming his wife and many members of her family for this. The police are conducting a thorough investigation into the incident," he said.

In a 1.57-minute video, which has gone viral on social media, Engineer Mohit could be seen saying, "By the time you people get this video, I will have left this world. If only there were a law for boys, then perhaps I would not have taken this wrong step. I could not tolerate the mental torture of my wife and her family."

He said, "After my wife Priya Yadav got selected as a teacher in Samastipur district of Bihar, her mother got my child aborted and kept all the jewellery with herself. She had no right over it. My wife threatened me that if I did not transfer my house and property in her name, she would trap me and my family in false dowry charges, whereas we both got married without any demand, with our consent, because we were in a relationship for seven years."

Mohit has stated, "My wife's father Anuj Kumar filed a false complaint against me, and her brother called me and threatened to kill me. My wife started giving me trouble and mental torture every day by living with me, and her family was with her in this conspiracy. If I do not get justice even after my death, my ashes should be thrown into the drain. Mummy Papa, you all please forgive me, I could not fulfil your expectations."

Mohit was posted as a field engineer in a cement company and used to visit different states for company work every day. The deceased's brother Tareen Pratap, said that his brother had left the house, saying that he was going to Kota.

Tareen said that on Friday at 6 AM, Mohit sent a video on his mobile in which Mohit's suicide note was found. After this video, the family members called him several times, but he did not pick up the phone.

Police sources said that surveillance revealed that his mobile was showing the location around Etawah railway station. "The family searched for him in many hotels and railway stations throughout the day, but he could not be found. Late Friday night, the news of his death was received through the police," they said.

Tareen claimed that his brother was harassed by his wife and her in-laws. "A few months ago, Mohit's father-in-law had also given a false application against my family. Mohit's brother-in-law also threatened them. His brother was living with his wife in a separate house, even after that, Priya used to fight every day. After four months, she returned from her maternal home in Mainpuri district, three days ago," he said.

Police sources said that no complaint has been given by Mohit's family against his wife and other family members so far. "The police are currently waiting for the application based on which police will decide the future course of legal action," they said.
