CHANDIGARH: In a shocking incident, a 32-year-old man from Sonepat in Haryana committed suicide and live streamed it on Facebook on Saturday, after getting death threats from his neighbour and her paramour, both officials of the Delhi police, after he discovered their alleged illicit affair.
Police sources said that Deepak hanged himself and wrote that his neighbour, a woman assistant sub-inspector (ASI) and her alleged lover, an inspector had threatened to kill him after he shed light on their affair.
Sources said that the accused had been harassing Deepak for the last six months, all of which he wrote in his diary but never mustered the courage to approach the police.
Superintendent of Sonepat police, Ashwin Shenvi said, “Before committing suicide by hanging himself and live streaming his action on his Facebook page, the deceased wrote the reason for the extreme step on the wall of his room. He wrote that he was facing a threat to his life from a married woman in his neighbourhood, and her alleged lover after he told her husband about their illicit relationship. He wrote that the woman was an ASI and had an affair with an inspector of her force.’’
The woman who is an ASI and her paramour, an inspector, are both with Delhi police while the woman’s husband works with the Haryana Police, said Ashwin Shenvi.
He said that the family of the deceased has filed a complaint and registered a case with Sonepat police against the accused on charges of abetting the suicide.
“A team of Sonepat police is already in Delhi to arrest both accused whose mobiles phones are switched off,” Shenvi said.
Before taking the extreme step, he telephoned his sister and asked her to take care of their father, and sent his wife and son to a relative’s place as his parents had already gone to Mathura. Then he switched off his mobile and live streamed his death.
