**Tragic Death of Field Engineer in Noida Sparks Outrage Over Domestic Abuse**
A field engineer tragically took his own life in a hotel room in Noida, reportedly due to alleged mental and emotional abuse from his wife and in-laws. Before his death, Mohit Kumar recorded a poignant video detailing the harassment he endured, claiming he was coerced into transferring his property to his wife and her family, and threatened with false dowry allegations.
In the video, Mohit expressed his despair, stating, “By the time you get this video, I will be gone from this world. If there was a law for men, maybe I wouldn’t have taken this step. I couldn’t bear the mental torture by my wife and her family. Mom, Dad, please forgive me.” Originally from Auraiya district in Uttar Pradesh, Mohit had a long-term relationship with Priya Yadav, which culminated in marriage. However, after Priya secured a teaching position in Samastipur, Bihar, Mohit’s family reported a significant change in her behavior, leading to alleged mental harassment influenced by her mother and brother.
In his distressing video, Mohit further revealed, “My wife, Priya Yadav’s mother, forced the abortion of our child and kept all the jewellery and sarees with her. My wife is threatening me that if I don’t transfer the house and property in her name, she will file a false dowry case against me and my family.” Feeling hopeless and trapped, he concluded his message with a heartbreaking plea for forgiveness from his parents, stating, “If I don’t get justice even after my death, then let my ashes be immersed in a drain. Mom and Dad, please forgive me. I couldn’t live up to your expectations.”
Authorities discovered Mohit’s body in Room 105 of the Jolly Hotel near Railway Station Road. Superintendent of Police Abhay Nath Tripathi confirmed the circumstances surrounding his death, stating, “We received information from Jolly Hotel at Railway Station Road. Mohit had checked into Room No. 105 and hadn’t come out. When we opened the door, he was found hanging. We conducted a forensic examination, and prepared a report. Prima facie, it appears to be suicide.” Following a post-mortem examination, Mohit’s body was returned to his family for cremation in Auraiya.
Mohit’s brother, Taran Pratap, shared insights into his brother’s struggles, stating, “My brother Mohit was working with a cement company in Noida. That’s where he met Priya, and they got into a relationship that lasted seven years before we arranged their marriage. Everything was fine for the first three months, but then Priya started torturing him. She separated him from the family and began pressuring him to transfer property in her name, threatening false legal cases. Her brother and mother were also making threats. Under this pressure, my brother took his own life. He recorded the video the night before and uploaded it to his social media account.”
This tragic incident highlights the urgent need for awareness and support regarding domestic abuse, particularly the mental health challenges faced by men in similar situations.
