A 24-year-old woman allegedly died by suicide at her matrimonial home in outer Delhi's Nangloi area on Tuesday afternoon, leaving behind a video message that accuses her in-laws of ongoing harassment. The victim, identified as Tina, was discovered hanging from a ceiling fan. While authorities confirmed that no written suicide note was left at the scene, investigators recovered a final video recording on her mobile phone detailing her grievances. Local authorities launched a formal investigation immediately after receiving the emergency call on Tuesday. The body was taken into custody and forwarded for a post-mortem examination to establish the precise cause of death.
According to police sources, the retrieved video clip spans more than three minutes. In the recording, the victim directly addressed her parents, husband, and wider family members. She specifically told her father, "Papa, I'm leaving," and urged her parents not to conflict over her death. A central focus of her final message was the well-being of her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, with the victim explicitly requesting that her parents assume custody of the child rather than returning her to the husband's family.

The video also provided insight into the domestic issues leading up to the incident. "I only wanted a small family. I never practised any black magic,” the victim stated in the footage, refuting apparent accusations while alleging systematic ill-treatment by her husband's relatives. She further characterized her husband's behavior as unstable, asserting that she could no longer continue living under those conditions.
