MUMBAI: Accusing his fiancee and her family of framing him in a stalking case and assaulting him after taking Rs 12.5 lakh from him, a 33-year-old chartered accountant from Jharkhand allegedly hanged himself at his rented Govandi home minutes after going live on Facebook on Tuesday. He also alleged that police had refused to intervene in the financial dispute, which had prompted him to knock on the court’s doors.
Police said Sandeep Paswan had shown suicidal tendencies over the past year. They were alerted by friends and viewers to alarming live chats from him but were able to zero in on his location only after his death.
Deonar police registered an accidental death case, and after finding the Facebook Live video, they were also adding the charge of abetment to suicide against the fiancee and her family.
Police said around 7am Tuesday, Sandeep went live on Facebook in his flat, showing bruises on his body and a torn T-shirt, and accused his fiancee and distant relative, Sapna Paswan, and her family of assaulting him and pushing him to take his life. “They told me, ‘Why are you still alive? Just die, or we will kill you. They have humiliated me and ruined my life,'” he said.
Police said Sandeep had been receiving counselling from police and he had assured them he wouldn’t take any drastic step.
