UP techie dies by suicide, blames wife: ‘Throw ashes in drain if…’

In the video, he claimed his in-laws had threatened him and filed false cases against him. “If I don't get justice even after my death, throw my ashes into the drain,” he reportedly said in the recording.

Police told NDTV the man had checked into the Jolly Hotel near the Etawah railway station on Thursday. He didn’t step out the next morning, and by evening, hotel staff discovered him hanging in his room, said Superintendent of Police (City) Abhay Nath Tripathi.

He was a resident of the Auraiya district and worked as a field engineer at a cement company. He and his wife had been in a relationship for seven years before marrying in 2023.
