4 min read
Agra: The shocking suicide of 27-year-old Manav Sharma, an employee of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), has stirred a wave of discussions on social media, particularly after a viral video featuring his wife, Nikita Sharma, surfaced online. The video, in which Nikita confesses to infidelity and personal struggles, has intensified the debate around the tragic incident, prompting calls for justice and further investigation.
Background of the Case
Manav Sharma, a software professional based in Mumbai, was found dead at his residence in Agra on the morning of February 24. His suicide has been linked to alleged emotional and psychological harassment from his wife, Nikita Sharma. His family has accused her and her relatives of mentally torturing Manav, pushing him to take the extreme step.
Before his death, Manav recorded an emotional seven-minute video, which was later discovered on his phone. In the video, he visibly breaks down, pleading for awareness about the struggles men face in troubled marriages. His words, “Someone please talk about men,” have resonated widely on social media, sparking debates on gender dynamics in marital relationships.
Wife’s Viral Confession: What Did She Say?
A video featuring Nikita Sharma has gone viral, where she admits to hiding crucial aspects of her past from Manav. In the undated clip, she confesses to an affair with a man named Abhishek and also reveals that her maternal uncle forced himself on her. However, she claims that she concealed these incidents from Manav to protect their marriage.
“I know I made many mistakes, lied to Manav, and didn’t tell him about all this, but only to save our marriage,” she states in the video.
She further admits, “I made a big mistake by not telling him about my past. Now, I have told Manav everything and feel very guilty.” Nikita also emotionally declares that she is ready to accept any punishment for her mistakes and reiterates that she had been loyal to Manav after their marriage.

Manav’s Last Words: A Cry for Help?
Manav’s final video paints a grim picture of his emotional distress. He mentions how he felt betrayed upon discovering his wife’s past relationships. Despite his turmoil, he repeatedly asks people to consider the plight of men in similar situations.
“I have no issue with going home. I want to go home. Yet, even now, I am saying this: Please think about men,” he says, fighting back tears.
He also reveals a history of suicide attempts, showing his wrist marked with scars. His last plea in the video was directed at protecting his parents: “Don’t touch my parents,” he urges before signing off with, “Okay then, peace out.”
Family’s Allegations and Police Investigation
Manav’s father, Narendra Kumar Sharma, a retired Indian Air Force officer, filed a complaint with the Sadar Police on February 28, demanding an inquiry into his son’s death. The FIR alleges that Nikita mistreated Manav and subjected him to verbal and emotional abuse.
According to the FIR:
- Manav and Nikita got married on January 1, 2024, in a traditional Hindu ceremony without dowry.
- Post-marriage, Nikita allegedly displayed erratic behavior and frequently fought with Manav and his family.
- Manav reportedly confided in his father multiple times, describing the emotional distress he was facing in the marriage.
- On February 23, Manav traveled with his wife to Agra from Mumbai and visited her maternal home, where he was allegedly humiliated and harassed by her family members.
- Feeling deeply distressed, Manav returned home and died by suicide on February 24.
Legal Actions and Social Reactions
As of now, Agra Police have not made any arrests, but the case has gained national attention. Several social media users and men’s rights activists have highlighted the issue, demanding a fair investigation. Many argue that cases of alleged harassment faced by men in marriages often go unnoticed and need equal attention in discussions around domestic abuse.
The tragic incident has reignited conversations about the mental health of men in strained relationships and the need for stronger legal frameworks to ensure justice for all victims of domestic discord.
Conclusion
The suicide of Manav Sharma has left behind many unanswered questions. Was this an outcome of prolonged emotional abuse? Could timely intervention have prevented this tragedy? As investigations continue, the case underscores the importance of mental health awareness, unbiased legal scrutiny, and open conversations about the challenges men face in marriages.
For now, Manav’s last words echo in the hearts of many: “Please think about men.”
