Bijnor, February 6: A 24-year-old man, Rohit Saini, died by suicide in Mudhal village of Heempur, Bijnor in Uttar Pradesh allegedly due to harassment by his wife and in-laws over a INR 10 lakh divorce demand. The incident occurred on Monday, and police registered an FIR on Tuesday against his wife, Preeti, her parents, two brothers, and a sister-in-law.

Rohit, who ran a chaat shop in Jalilpur, had been married to Preeti for two years, and they had a son together. However, their relationship was reportedly strained by frequent quarrels.
