A 30-year-old man allegedly died after consuming poison over harassment by his wife and in-laws, police said on Wednesday.

The deceased was identified as Arif, a resident of Murda Patti locality in Charthawal town. He recorded a video before taking the extreme step on Tuesday. In the video, he said his wife and her parents would be responsible for his death, police said.

Station House Officer (SHO) Jasvir Singh said Arif consumed poison and was rushed to Muzaffarnagar Medical College, where doctors declared him dead.

"The body has been sent for post-mortem and an investigation is underway. The man's video is being examined and necessary action will be taken," Singh said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
