Family Dispute and Mental Health Concerns Emerge
The tragic suicide of TCS manager Manav Sharma has stirred discussions about marital discord and mental health struggles. While Manav accused his wife Nikita of harassment, her WhatsApp chats reveal a different narrative, claiming his allegations were false.
Manav Sharma’s Family Demands Justice
Manav’s parents and sister are devastated by his death and are demanding strict action against his wife and in-laws. Following the FIR, Nikita and her family have gone missing, but she released a video on social media, denying all allegations.
His sister, Akanksha, stated that Manav was under extreme stress due to threats of police action. She revealed that on the day of his death, she had been in touch with him through messages, but he had assured her that he was fine.
The Role of Social Media in His Mental Stress
Manav reportedly learned about Nikita’s past from an anonymous Instagram account, which left him deeply distressed. His mental state worsened, leading him to self-harm by cutting his veins. His parents traveled to Mumbai to console him, and he later moved to Agra to initiate divorce proceedings. However, he was allegedly threatened by Nikita and her family, pushing him into severe emotional turmoil.
Nikita’s Side of the Story: Claims of Prior Suicide Attempts
In her defense, Nikita claimed in her video that Manav had attempted suicide twice before, and she had saved him both times. She stated that she had warned Manav’s family about his condition, but they dismissed it as a private matter between husband and wife.
On the day of his death, Nikita said she met Manav happily before leaving for her maternal home in Barhan. She insisted that he had been under stress for a long time, which led to his tragic decision.
Another AI Engineer Also Takes His Life
The case echoes another suicide in Bangalore, where AI engineer Atul Subhash Modi ended his life after recording a 1-hour-20-minute-long video and leaving a 24-page suicide note. Like Manav, he too accused his wife and in-laws of causing his distress.
Growing Concerns Over Mental Health and Marital Issues
These tragic incidents highlight the urgent need for mental health awareness, open conversations about marital stress, and proper legal support for individuals facing domestic conflicts.
