"एक और": Rahul, a Muzaffarnagar man, drank poison on live video, alleging torture by wife Jyoti and in-laws over Rs 12 lakh, echoing Atul Subhash and a TCS manager’s suicides, sparking India’s men’s rights fight against false FIRs and Section 498A misuse

A heartbreaking incident has shaken the town of Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh, where a man is now battling for his life after consuming poison during a live video. This tragic event follows similar cases reported recently, like those of a Bengaluru techie and a TCS manager, who also took extreme steps due to alleged harassment from their spouses and in-laws. The situation in Muzaffarnagar has left many in shock, as it highlights a growing pattern of distress among men facing such circumstances.
In this small city of Uttar Pradesh, the man, identified as Rahul, is in a critical condition after he bravely—or perhaps desperately—chose to record his ordeal live for the world to see. The video, which has since spread across social media, shows him taking a drastic step that no one could have anticipated. It’s not an isolated case, as the past few months have brought to light several instances where men have ended their lives, reportedly due to unbearable torture and harassment from their wives and their families. Rahul’s story adds another painful chapter to this troubling trend.
Living in Muzaffarnagar, Rahul was at his home when he decided to make this chilling live video. He is now fighting to survive after swallowing poison right in front of the camera. The visuals are nothing short of disturbing—Rahul can be seen opening a small packet of poison, carefully pouring its contents into a glass of water, stirring it with his finger, and then drinking it down. Moments later, he loses consciousness, leaving viewers with a haunting image of a man pushed to his breaking point. This act wasn’t just a cry for help; it was a loud, desperate scream from someone who felt trapped with nowhere else to turn.

Man Attempts Suicide, Alleges Torture and Harassment by Wife, In-Laws
In the live video, Rahul doesn’t hold back about why he felt driven to such an extreme act. He lays the blame squarely on his wife and in-laws, accusing them of relentless torture and harassment. The video has spread like wildfire online, shared widely on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) by the NCM India Council for Men Affairs, a group that’s brought attention to men’s struggles in cases like this. Watching it, you can feel the weight of Rahul’s words—he’s not just speaking; he’s pleading for someone, anyone, to hear his side of the story.
As Rahul talks, his voice cracks with emotion. He says these are his last moments and explains why: “These are my last moments because my in-laws are troubling me, torturing my aged parents and entrapping my elder brothers and their families,” he reveals, painting a picture of a man cornered by more than just his own troubles. His in-laws, he claims, have gone after his entire family. He goes further, accusing his wife, Jyoti, and her relatives of fabricating a case against him to extort money—a staggering demand of over Rs 12 lakh. That’s not a small amount, and you can sense his helplessness as he talks about being squeezed dry by these allegations.
Rahul’s pain deepens as he shares what Jyoti supposedly told him. “My wife said that she married me for money, not to settle down with me,” he says, his words dripping with betrayal. He admits he’s been apologizing to her, even though he insists he’s done nothing wrong. But it’s not enough—Jyoti, he claims, has refused to let him go through a divorce and instead vowed to “destroy me.” You can hear him breaking down as he cries, begging for help and justice, even imagining a future where he’s no longer alive to fight. It’s the kind of moment that makes you pause and wonder how someone could feel so trapped.
Then comes the gut punch. “I do not want to die but I have no other option,” Rahul confesses, his voice a mix of sorrow and exhaustion. He questions what will happen after he’s gone: “Once I am gone, how will the fake case last, how will my wife and in-laws extort money?” It’s almost like he’s trying to reason with himself, clinging to a sliver of hope that his death might expose the truth. The video takes a dark turn as he picks up the poison packet, empties it into a glass, stirs it, and drinks it. His hands shake, his breathing falters, and then he’s gone—unconscious, leaving behind a story that’s hard to shake off.

Growing Cases of Men Taking Their Lives Over Alleged Harassment by Wives and In-Laws
The tragedy in Muzaffarnagar isn’t a standalone event—it’s part of a heartbreaking trend that’s been unfolding across India lately. In recent months, several men have reached a point of such despair that they’ve ended their own lives, claiming unbearable torture and harassment from their wives and their families. These stories are piling up, each one a heavy reminder that pain doesn’t discriminate by gender. What happened to Rahul in Uttar Pradesh follows in the footsteps of others who felt they had no way out, and it’s starting to make people sit up and take notice.
One of the first cases to grab headlines recently was that of Atul Subhash, a techie from Bengaluru. Atul’s story hit hard when he took his own life, leaving behind a detailed suicide note and a video that pointed the finger at his wife and her family. “The first such case that was reported recently was of Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash, who committed suicide and left behind a long suicide note and video, blaming his wife and her family for his grave step,” the reports say. His words and actions painted a picture of a man who felt crushed under the weight of accusations and torment, a story that lingered in the minds of many who heard it. It wasn’t just a quiet exit—Atul wanted the world to know what drove him to that edge.
Then there was the case of a TCS manager from Agra, another man who couldn’t see a way forward. “Another case was that of a TCS Manager from Agra, who committed suicide over harassment by wife,” the details confirm. Like Rahul and Atul, this manager’s life ended in tragedy, reportedly because of the constant pressure and harassment from his spouse. These incidents are piling up at a time when the country is rightfully focused on women’s safety and crimes against women. But amidst those loud and necessary protests, there’s a quieter reality emerging—some women, in certain cases, are misusing their rights to extort money and wield power in ways that hurt others. These stories aren’t just footnotes; they’re a call to look at justice with clear eyes, no matter who’s standing in the victim’s shoes.

A Cry for Justice: Men’s Rights Movement Gains Momentum
The rising number of these suicides isn’t just a statistic—it’s become a spark for a growing movement in India. Men’s rights groups are stepping into the spotlight, driven by the pain of cases like Rahul’s, Atul’s, and the TCS manager’s. Organizations like the Save Indian Family Foundation have seen their membership shoot up as more people rally around the cause. Activists like Deepika Bhardwaj and Mitra Guha Pal are raising their voices, pushing for equal rights for men and shining a light on what they see as an overlooked crisis. “The repeated rise in the death of men has become a rallying point for India’s nascent men’s rights movement,” observers have noted, and it’s hard to argue with the momentum building behind it.
These cases—each one a life lost—have fueled a louder demand for changes in the law. People are asking for reforms to tackle false allegations and unfair alimony disputes that leave men feeling cornered. Take Atul Subhash’s situation, for example. His story didn’t end with his death; it opened up a bigger conversation about legal misuse. Lawyer Abha Singh stepped in, pointing out that Atul faced nine ‘false’ FIRs, or police complaints, including heavy charges like murder and domestic violence. Those accusations fell apart under scrutiny, later proven untrue.
Abha didn’t stop there. She turned her anger toward the Uttar Pradesh police, accusing them of making up cases that never should have existed. Her words hit a nerve because they touch on something bigger: when laws meant to protect are twisted, it doesn’t just hurt the falsely accused—it also drowns out the cries of those who truly need help. The debate over Section 498A, India’s anti-dowry law, has flared up again because of this. Originally designed to shield women from cruelty, it’s now under fire for being a weapon in some hands, used to settle scores or extort money instead of deliver justice.
