Ghaziabad Man Dies By Suicide, Accuses Wife Of Harassment: ‘After Me, They Might Kill…'

Mohit’s brother, Rahul Tyagi, has alleged that Mohit was under mental stress due to alleged mistreatment by his wife and her relatives. The victim’s family has filed a complaint at the Modinagar police station against Priyanka, her brother Puneet Tyagi, sister-in-law Neetu Tyagi, and maternal uncles Anil and Vishesh Tyagi.

Bitter Relationship

As per the reports, Mohit got married to Priyanka, a native of Sambhal district in 2020. This was Mohit’s second marriage. The couple was blessed with a son, Samarth, in 2021.

The relationship reportedly turned bitter soon after, with Priyanka and her family allegedly making persistent demands and false accusations against Mohit and his family. Mohit’s suicide letter, shared with several friends and relatives on WhatsApp before he consumed poison on April 15, explicitly names individuals he believed were responsible for his mental torture.

Priyanka Escapes With Gold Jewellery

As per the media reports, Priyanka had started stealing money from the house. Later, accompanied by her brother and another unidentified person, she took away all the gold jewellery in the house – worth between Rs 12 to Rs 15 lakhs – along with all the cash kept in the locker, after Mohit’s mother passed away in 2024.

The situation escalated six months ago when she left for her hometown with jewellery, cash along with her son.

Rahul revealed that Priyanka had been demanding additional jewellery from Mohit before the incident. The family claimed they had filed a police complaint at the time, but no action was taken.

What Triggered Mohit To Commit Suicide?

Priyanka subsequently filed a police complaint against Mohit in Sambhal. On April 15, Mohit allegedly received a phone call from Sambhal’s Chowda police station regarding the probe over the complaint lodged by his wife.

Shortly after, he messaged his acquaintances through WhatsApp, indicating that he was going to take his life and naming those he held responsible. Distressed, Mohit consumed poison the same day. He was rushed to a local hospital and later transferred to a Delhi facility for advanced treatment. But he died.

Mohit’s Suicide Letter

In his letter, Mohit accused his wife and her relative of continuous torture and mental harassment.

“I and my family members kept trying my best to change Priyanka’s behavior, but it seemed as if she had married me for some other purpose, because from the way she behaved, anyone could guess that she had come not to get married but to extort a good amount of money from me and my family members or to trap me in a false case," Mohit claimed in the letter as reported by NDTV.

In the letter, Mohit alleged that Priyanka repeatedly attempted to terminate her pregnancy, prompting multiple hospital admissions in Modinagar, Meerut, and Ghaziabad. Mohit claimed that Priyanka expressed a lack of desire to raise the child, both before and after birth.

Mohit expressed concern for the welfare of his son, asking that the child be placed under the care of his paternal family.

“I have no grief over dying, I am just sad that after my death, all these conspirators may kill my child Chiku," he said, adding, “If I do not commit suicide, no one will believe my truth."

Mohit said that until Priyanka and all the others involved are not punished severely, his ashed shouldn’t be immersed in Ganga.

He further stated, “Flow my ashes in the River Ganges only when my wife and her family are punished," as reported by News24.

He urged Women Commission, Police Administration, CM Yogi Adityanath and the judiciary, to not spare the criminals.

An FIR was registered under sections 108 (abetment of suicide), 305 (theft), and 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of trust) of the BNS against Priyanka and her family members.
