According to information, the victim, identified as 28-year-old Nitin Padiyar, worked as a professional photographer in Indore. Nitin had married Harsha Sharma, a woman he was in a relationship with, a few years ago. However, the couple’s relationship soured, and Harsha moved to her parents’ home, filing for divorce and demanding financial support. Nitin’s family alleged that she and her family were pressuring him for ₹30 lakh as part of a settlement.
According to the suicide note that was discovered, the pressure of paying the amount and the stress caused by the same led to Nitin taking this extreme step. Moreover, his family reported that he had been visibly distressed in recent weeks. Police have sent Nitin’s body for a post-mortem and are investigating the case further.
