Mangalore: Abhishek Singh, a UP-based employee of a private company in Chennai, has died by suicide in Mangalore. He had come to the city to participate in an exhibition and was staying at a lodge on Rao & Rao Road, where he was found hanging.
Before taking this extreme step, Abhishek recorded a video and shared it on Instagram. In the video, he accused a CISF female officer of deceiving him. According to him, the woman was already married but kept it a secret while developing a relationship with him. He alleged that she took lakhs of rupees and gold ornaments from him under false pretenses. Now, she has admitted to being married and having a husband, which led to his distress.
In the video, he also urged his community to ostracize the woman. The police are investigating the matter.
