A young woman in Nagpur died by suicide during a video call with her boyfriend after he allegedly refused to marry her and threatened to leak her private photos.
Relationship Turns Sour
The woman, who worked for a private company in Nagpur, had been in a relationship with the 34-year-old accused for several years. She lived with a friend in the Dhantoli area, while the accused, originally from Amravati, was pursuing a PhD in Pune.
Police said the accused and a friend had met the woman's mother a few months ago and expressed their willingness to marry her. The family approved the proposal, but the accused's family later opposed the marriage.
Despite this, the accused allegedly concealed the development from the woman and continued meeting her in Nagpur.
Woman Allegedly Threatened Over Private Photos
According to the woman's family's complaint, she repeatedly asked the accused about marriage, but he avoided giving her a clear answer.
Police said he eventually told her that he could not marry her. The family further alleged that he threatened to circulate her objectionable photographs on social media if she continued pressuring him to marry her.
The alleged refusal and threats left the woman under severe mental stress, according to the complaint.
Video Call Continued After Death
On the night of September 19, the woman video-called the accused and told him that she intended to end her life.
According to her mother's complaint, the accused did not make any attempt to stop her. The woman subsequently died by suicide while the video call was still connected.
Police said their investigation found that the call remained connected for around 23 minutes after her death.
Abetment to Suicide Case Filed
Dhantoli police registered a case of abetment to suicide against the 34-year-old man based on the woman's family's complaint.
The accused is being questioned as part of the investigation. Police are examining the circumstances surrounding the relationship, the alleged threats and the events during the final video call.
