Another heart-wrenching case has come to light from Uttar Pradesh, which again reminded me of the Atul Subhash suicide case. An engineer committed suicide by making a video accusing his wife of mental harassment and torture. In this video, the engineer has expressed his desire to throw his ashes in the drain, which clearly shows that he has lost his mental condition.
According to sources, the body was recovered from a hotel room in Etawah. Engineer Mohit Yadav got married in 2023; before that, both of them were in a relationship for 7 years. Mohit claimed in the video that his wife and his family members were harassing him by threatening and filing fake dowry harassment cases. Mentally, he was very unstable, and due to not getting any help from the law, he took the last option of suicide.
Mohit Yadav spoke the last words in the video, which remind us of the recent Atul Subhash suicide case. He said, “First, I apologized to my parents for this step, then said that if I don’t get justice from these fake allegations even after my death, then pour my ashes in a drain.” There are no rights or laws for men in Indian law.
The video further said, “My wife threatened me that if I don’t register my house and property in her name, she will implicate my family in a dowry case. Her father, Manoj Kumar, filed a fake complaint, and her brother threatened to kill me.” He claimed that since then, his wife started fighting with him every day, and his family supports him.
Mohit’s family members said Yadav had left for Kota but stayed in Etawah. On Friday morning, when his video came on their phone, the family members were shocked. He took a room in the Jolly Hotel near Etawah Railway Station and committed suicide by hanging himself there. When he did not come out of the room the next day, the hotel staff checked the room out of suspicion and found Mohit’s dead body.
This incident further strengthens the growing demand for a law that protects men against false accusations by women.
