A 30-year-old man named Manish, a resident of Baba Ladana village in Kaithal, died by suicide on March 1, 2026, by hanging himself from a ceiling fan. The victim was reportedly under extreme mental stress after his wife, who moved to Australia shortly after their marriage, stopped communicating with him and suggested he remarry. Following the incident, the police have registered a case against his wife, her father, her brother, and a travel agent for abetment of suicide.
What are the key details of the police investigation?
The Sadar Police Station in Kaithal registered the FIR based on a complaint filed by the victim’s elder brother, Balwinder Singh. The investigation focuses on mental harassment and financial exploitation. The police have named the following individuals in the case:
- Tamanna: The victim’s wife, currently living in Australia.
- Dayachand: Manish’s father-in-law, a resident of Pipaltha village in Jind.
- Akash: The brother-in-law of the deceased.
- Hawa Singh: The travel agent who handled the visa documentation.
Investigating Officer SI Ravi Kumar confirmed that the Sangatpura Police Post has taken over the probe. The body was handed over to the family after a post-mortem examination at the local civil hospital.
What were the financial and emotional reasons behind the incident?
The victim’s family alleged that the marriage took place two years ago, and Tamanna left for Australia just two months after the wedding. The family claims to have spent a massive amount of money to facilitate this move, but Manish was left behind due to visa issues. The primary details of the dispute are mentioned below:
| Category | Details Provided by Family |
|---|---|
| Financial Expenditure | ₹60 lakh to ₹70 lakh paid to agent Hawa Singh |
| Visa Status | Tamanna’s visa approved; Manish’s visa repeatedly denied |
| Date of Incident | March 1, 2026 (Sunday) |
| Legal Charges | Registered under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) |
According to the family, Tamanna eventually told Manish to find another girl and get remarried as she did not intend to maintain the relationship. This rejection, combined with alleged threats from his in-laws and the financial loss caused by the agent, led to the tragic step taken by the victim.
