A 28-year-old man allegedly died by suicide in Faridabad’s Jawahar Colony on Sunday evening while on a video call with his girlfriend. The deceased, identified by police as Nikhil, reportedly took the step following a disagreement regarding the couple's future marriage plans. Local authorities have taken custody of the body and initiated a formal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death.

Nikhil had been in a relationship with a resident of Sanjay Colony for approximately five years. According to police statements, both families had previously met to discuss a formal marriage proposal. However, the relationship had recently come under strain as the woman reportedly began refusing to go through with the wedding, a development that investigators believe caused Nikhil significant mental distress. ‘Couldn’t Live With Guilt’: Techie Dies by Suicide After 11-Month-Old Son Accidentally Drowns in Bucket in Bengaluru.

The incident occurred around 5:00 PM on Sunday. Police reports indicate that Nikhil first exchanged a series of messages with the woman via WhatsApp before initiating a video call. During the live transmission, he allegedly hanged himself while she watched.

The woman immediately contacted Nikhil’s friends to raise the alarm. Upon arriving at his residence, the friends discovered him unresponsive in his room. Nikhil was alone at the house at the time; his father had passed away several years ago, and his mother was traveling in Ujjain when the incident took place. Karnataka Shocker: 23-Year-Old Ayurveda College Student Dies by Suicide, Death Note Alleges Harassment and False Link to Lecturer.

"A detailed investigation into the incident is underway," a senior police officer stated, noting that authorities are currently reviewing the digital evidence and messages exchanged prior to the event.
