Agra: A 25-year-old man from Agra allegedly took his life over strained ties with his wife and in-laws, police said on Tuesday. Before killing himself, Gaurav Singh recorded an emotional video accusing his wife of blackmailing him and forcing him to take the extreme step.DCP of Agra city, Sonam Kumar, said, "An FIR was registered under BNS section 108 (abetment to suicide) against eight people, including Gaurav's wife Nisha Singh, on July 7 on the complaint of his maternal cousin, Gulshan Singh. Further probe is on."In the video that was purportedly shot moments before his death on July 4, Gaurav could be heard saying, "I request the cops… I'm deeply troubled by my wife and in-laws. I'm facing a financial crisis, my wife has got involved with someone else. I request from govt that from my house and property, my wife should not get anything. False allegations levelled against me by my in-laws should be probed first, then, maybe, take any action against me."In a complaint filed at Trans Yamuna police station in Agra, Gulshan Singh, stated that Gaurav, who used to work as a cook at wedding events, had married Nisha, 24, of Hathras in Nov last year."Soon after their union, the relationship between my brother and his wife turned sour. She took away all the jewellery and kept it with her parents. She and her parents forced Gaurav to take this extreme step," Gulshan added.
