LUCKNOW: A man filmed his wife attempting suicide and later showed it to her family after she died. The incident was reported in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday. The husband did not try to stop his wife from committing suicide and continued filming.
The deceased was identified as Sobhita Gupta. Based on the complaint of the girl's parents, the husband Sanjay Gupta was called by the police for interrogation. The couple got married five years ago.
In the visuals captured by Sanjay, Sobhita tries to hang herself from the fan by tying dupatta around her neck. Even when she was on the brink of suicide, her husband does not try to save her. “Is this your mindset? It is very poor”, Sanjay can be heard saying this to his wife in the video. Following this, Sobhita takes off the noose around her neck and stares at her husband. The video ends at that point.
Sobhita's father Raj Kishore Gupta said that Sanjay called him afternoon on the day of the incident and informed that his daughter had committed suicide. Later, when they reached Sanjay's house, they found Sobhita lying on the bed and her husband was giving CPR. The parents also say that Sanjay showed the visuals of Sobhita trying to commit suicide, saying that he had saved her from first suicide attempt. The family alleges that the video was recorded around 12:30 pm and Sobitha died shortly after that. The family alleges that instead of taking her to the hospital, Sanjay gave CPR and recorded the visuals.
After reaching Sanjay's home, her parents took her to the hospital. But the doctors confirmed that she had died. The police said that they are investigating the husband’s involvement in her death.
