Nitin Jadhav

AHMEDABAD: A 35-year-old man on Friday afternoon recorded his video and then committed suicide at his home in Gomtipur area of the city. Gomtipur police on Saturday registered a case of accidental death in the case.

The deceased has been identified as Nitin Jadhav , a resident of Khadawali Chawl, who worked with a private firm in the city. In the video, he is seen putting his head in gallows made of sari hanged with ceiling and then narrating his ordeal.

Jadhav is heard saying, “I was harassed by my wife, her parents and her two colleagues. I am so depressed with these five people now that I will have to end my life.”

“Please ensure that they get strict punishment. Say my goodbye to mother and grandfather. I am fed up with this life. Please do not give my child to her and instead give him to my mother and brother,” he heard saying in the video.

“I tried to convince her but she could not understand anything. Due to her illicit affair, I and my son are suffering a lot. So, I am left with no option but to commit suicide,” he says in the video.

Inspector Chirag Tandel of Gomtipur police said that Jadhav had shot the video at around 1.30pm on Friday and sent it to his sister Lakshmi Mundhva, a resident of Amraiwadi. But his sister saw the message at around 1.50pm on Friday. But when she reached the home, he was dead hanging with the ceiling, said Tandel.

Tandel said that the cops would take statement of Jadhav’s wife, Priti, and other persons mentioned in the video. The deceased’s body was sent to Civil hospital in Asarwa for postmortem. His family members were not in a position to give their statements, so the cops would begin further procedure soon, added Tandel.
