Man livestreams suicide; wife, mother-in-law arrested

A 27-year-old man livestreamed his suicide on March 16 in Mehra village, Rewa district, Madhya Pradesh. He was found hanging at his home shortly after the video was broadcast. In the footage, he blamed his mother-in-law and wife for ruining his life. Six days later, police arrested his wife, 24, and her mother for allegedly encouraging his suicide. Investigators discovered that his wife's social media account was linked to viewers of the livestream. She denied watching it live, claiming she saw it later. The police registered a case of unnatural death and charged the two women with abetment. The man had worked as a priest in Gujarat and returned home six months ago following a leg injury. He and his wife had been arguing frequently, and at the time of his death, she was staying with her mother. On the day he died, the man went to his mother-in-law's home to bring his wife back. A dispute occurred, and he returned home alone, where he then livestreamed his death. This situation is similar to other recent cases where men have committed suicide while blaming their partners. These incidents have sparked discussions on social media about men's mental health. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available.
