A 33-year-old married man ended his life allegedly due to harassment by his wife and mother-in-law. Both women have been booked by the Saraba Nagar police station on charges of abetment of suicide.

The deceased has been identified as Sunny Gupta, a resident of BRS Nagar. The accused has been identified as deceased’s wife Ishita Gupta and mother-in-law Neeru Gupta. The couple has a two-month-old son.

Sunny, along with his family, was running a trading company, Ashoka Limited. 

Gurpreet Singh, ACP,  said the man committed suicide in a horrific way. ”Last night, when he was alone at home, he first tied his neck with a rope and then climbed the water tank atop of his house. He jumped from there and died on the spot. His family found his body hanging,”  the ACP added. The deceased’s father, Ashok Gupta, said Sunny got married to Ishita in 2010 but his wife and mother-in-law used to quarrel with Sunny, due to which Sunny slipped into depression. The police said the couple had been living separately from parents at BRS Nagar for the past four years.
