Manav Sharma, an employee at the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), was found hanging in his home on February 24. Sharma recorded a nearly seven-minute harrowing video in which he accused his wife of being involved with another man romantically. His wife, Nikita, made a counter-video in which she denied the allegations and accused her husband of beating her. Police said that a complaint was filed against Nikita after the techie’s sister found the video blaming her. It also 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 left behind a 24-page suicide note, accusing his wife and her relatives of harassment and abuse. The case has been referred to the National Suicide Prevention Helpline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) The helpline can also be contacted on 020 3615 9090 or email: suicide@suicidepreventionhelpline.org.
