Throw My Ashes In Drain”: UP Techie Dies By Suicide, Accuses Wife In Video

Lucknow:

A 33-year-old engineer in Uttar Pradesh’s Etawah has died by suicide after accusing his wife and in-laws of harassment. Mohit Yadav recorded a video alleging threats and false cases filed against him by his in-laws. “If I don’t get justice even after my death, throw my ashes into the drain,” he said in the video.

Yadav had checked into the Jolly Hotel outside the Etawah railway station on Thursday. He did not leave his room the next morning. The hotel staff found him hanging in the evening, said Abhay Nath Tripathi, Superintendent of Police (City).

A resident of Auraiya district, Yadav worked as a field engineer in a cement company. He and Priya were in a relationship for seven years after they got married in 2023.

Priya was pregnant when she secured a private teaching job in Bihar two months ago, but her mother made her abort the child, Yadav alleged in the video. His mother-in-law also kept all her jewellery with her, he claimed. He said he had no dowry demand when they got married, but his wife threatened to file false cases against all his family members.
