A 30-year-old man, Chandan Singh Verma, who was a social worker, shared a suicide note on Facebook before consuming poison in Shahjahanpur from the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the incident has caused an uproar on social media.
Sharing the news, a Facebook user Abhinav Tripathi commented: "He must have gone through severe mental trauma all these years. May his soul rest in peace."
In his post, Verma claimed that he was being harassed by his wife Kalpana Verma, who was demanding Rs2,000,000 (Dh99,976) for giving him a divorce.
According to the Indian media outlets, when Verma's friends and family saw the Facebook post, they immediately started calling him, but he did not answer the calls.
Some of them reached his house and found it locked from inside. Subsequently, they reached out to the nearest police station, and, soon, he was found lying unconscious on his bed. He was immediately taken to a district hospital and later referred to a bigger medical centre in Bareilly, but he died on his way.
Talking to the media, Kotwali police station official, Pravesh Singh, said: "We have sent the body for autopsy and have filed a First Information Report against his wife under the section 306 (abetment of suicide) of the Indian Penal Code.
"The suicide note is evidence and we will include it in our investigation."
