UP man consumes poison, claims torture from wife & in-laws
A shocking video has gone viral on social media, showing a man from Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar district consuming poison on camera, alleging that he was being tortured and blackmailed by his wife and in-laws. The incident has sent shockwaves across the nation, raising questions about the treatment of men in Indian society and the lack of effective measures to prevent such cases.
The video, which has been widely shared on social media platforms, shows the man, identified as 35-year-old Rohit, consuming a poisonous substance in front of the camera. In the video, Rohit can be seen calmly stating his reasons for taking the drastic step. He claims that his wife, Jyoti, along with his in-laws, are implicating him in a false case and demanding a hefty sum of ₹12 lakh from him.
Rohit’s statement in the video reads, “Main nahi jeena chahta… Mere wife Jyoti ne saath mera in-laws ne false case mein implicate kiya hai aur ₹12 lakh demand kar rahe hain.” (I don’t want to live… My wife Jyoti and my in-laws have implicated me in a false case and are demanding ₹12 lakh.)
The video has sparked widespread outrage and concern, with many calling for immediate action to be taken against Rohit’s wife and in-laws. The incident has also raised questions about the treatment of men in Indian society, where they are often subjected to physical and emotional abuse by their family members.
According to reports, Rohit had been married to Jyoti for several years and had been living with her and her family in Muzaffarnagar. However, over time, Rohit claims that Jyoti and her family had become increasingly cruel and abusive towards him, demanding money and valuables from him.
Despite his attempts to resolve the situation amicably, Rohit alleges that Jyoti and her family continued to harass and blackmail him, eventually leading him to take the drastic step of consuming poison.
The incident has highlighted the need for greater awareness and action to be taken against domestic violence and harassment of men. While women’s rights groups have been vocal about the need to combat domestic violence, men’s rights activists argue that men are also victims of domestic violence and abuse, and that their voices need to be heard.
In recent years, there have been several cases of men committing suicide or attempting to take their own lives due to domestic violence and harassment. However, these cases often go unreported, and the media and society at large tend to focus more on cases of violence against women.
The Rohit case is a stark reminder of the need to address the issue of domestic violence and harassment of men. It is essential that we recognize the struggles and challenges faced by men in Indian society and work towards creating a more equitable and just society where all individuals, regardless of gender, are treated with dignity and respect.
It is also important to note that Rohit’s case is not an isolated incident. There are many other men who are suffering in silence, afraid to speak out against their abusers for fear of being ostracized or labelled as “weak.”
The Rohit case has sparked a national debate about the need to address the issue of domestic violence and harassment of men. It is essential that we work towards creating a society where all individuals, regardless of gender, are treated with dignity and respect, and where they are able to seek help and support without fear of judgment or reprisal.
