Delhi man dies after girlfriend sends self-harm video

NEW DELHI: A 30-year-old man who took his girlfriend to a hospital after receiving a video in which she was seen slitting her wrist died on Saturday.

The police said that the man fainted and passed away after witnessing her critical condition. The police suspect that he may have suffered a cardiac arrest, but are awaiting further information to determine the exact cause of his death.

According to the police, they received a PCR call at 3.34 am on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday, reporting an unconscious man who had been admitted at Kailash Deepak Hospital. However, he had already been declared dead by the doctors upon arrival of the police officials.

Further investigation revealed that Nanda's friend, a resident of Jagatpuri, had been admitted to the same hospital for self-inflicted injuries caused by slitting her veins with a sharp object in the Anand Vihar area of Delhi's Shahdara.

"Initially we got to know that she had sent the video of the injury to his friend Arun by using a messaging application. After seeing her condition, Arun fainted in the hospital suddenly and was declared dead after being examined by doctors," the officer said.

Arun's body was sent to Subzi Mandi Mortuary for an autopsy on Saturday and was later handed over to his family members after the post-mortem.
