After making the video, Kundan hung himself from an iron angle on the ceiling of his flat when his wife was away visiting her mother. “The neighbours on Tuesday morning saw him hanging from the window and informed the police. We then visited the spot and took him to Ulhasnagar civic hospital, where he was declared dead,” said Manoj Chavan, assistant police inspector, Hill Line police station.
Since primarily it looked like a suicide, the cops had registered an accidental death case and were investigating the matter. “An accidental death case was registered on Tuesday and the next day, Kundan’s sister Bhagwanti Mirga (35), told the cops that she had found the video on his phone, in which he had blamed his wife, mother-in law and sister-in-law. We have booked all three of them for abetment of suicide,” added Chavan.
