A man from Virar, near Mumbai, allegedly hanged himself in his house on Saturday after releasing a video on social media in which he blamed his wife and a policeman, an official said.
The police have registered an FIR for abetment of suicide against the wife of the deceased, identified as 28-year-old Abhay Palshetkar. Palshetkar and his wife, married for 11 months, had quarreled on Saturday, following which she approached the police and lodged a complaint against him.
In the video clip, Palshetkar claimed that he was summoned to the police station after his wife lodged a complaint and a policeman threatened him about taking action. Deputy Commissioner of Police Jayant Bajbale told reporters that police are examining the role of the concerned policeman and suitable action will be taken.
