Overview

  • Magan, a farmer from Dobh village, died by suicide on June 18 after receiving an explicit video of his wife Divya with police officer Deepak and posting a farewell message online.
  • In recorded video testimonies, Magan accused Divya of an affair with Deepak and described ongoing mental harassment that left him feeling trapped.
  • He alleged the couple extorted Rs 3.5 lakh under the pretext of funding Deepak’s job promotion and threatened to force him to kill his father or sell ancestral land for more money.
  • Magan revealed he only learned 18 months into the marriage that Divya was already legally wed with a son and had paid her first husband to avoid divorce proceedings.
  • Authorities have registered a case, are examining call logs and financial transactions, and are tracing Divya in Rohtak before pursuing leads on Deepak in Maharashtra.
