Wife admits to lying in video after Agra techie dies by suicide
Agra: Days after Manav Sharma, a techie working in a private company, died by suicide in Uttar Pradesh's Agra, a video of his wife, Nikita Sharma, surfaced online. In the undated clip, Nikita admitted to lying about her past to save their marriage and apologised to her late husband.
In the video, Nikita disclosed that she had a relationship with a man named Abhishek before marriage but did not initially reveal the extent of it to Manav. She also alleged that her maternal uncle had forced himself on her. "I know I made a lot of mistakes. I lied to Manav because I didn't want to ruin our marriage. Manav never harmed me or hit me. I love him a lot. Now I have told him everything, and I feel very guilty," she stated.
Nikita further claimed that her in-laws never demanded dowry and were supportive. She also mentioned that if anything happened to her, no one should be held responsible. It remains unclear whether the video was recorded before or after Manav’s death.

Contradictory statements in earlier video
Following Manav's death, another video of Nikita had emerged in which she alleged that her husband doubted her loyalty, was an alcoholic, and physically assaulted her. She claimed to have saved him from multiple suicide attempts in the past and had informed his family about their conflicts.
Manav was found hanging in his room on February 24. Before taking his life, he recorded an emotional video urging society to acknowledge men's issues.

CEC orders immediate arrest of those involved in post-poll violence in Bengal: Official
Kolkata (PTI): Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar directed the authorities concerned to immediately arrest those involved in post-poll violence and vandalism in West Bengal, an official said on Wednesday.
The Election Commission's directive came after two persons were killed in alleged incidents of post-poll violence in the state on Tuesday, besides scores of party offices being ransacked.
The CEC issued instructions to the West Bengal chief secretary, director general of police, Kolkata police commissioner and directors general of central armed police forces, along with all district magistrates, superintendents of police and other officials, to maintain continuous patrolling in sensitive areas, he said.
"Those responsible for inciting violence and carrying out acts of vandalism must be arrested immediately," the official said, quoting the CEC's instruction.
The chief election commissioner also stressed the need for swift and firm enforcement of the law, he added.
This directive came amid concerns over law and order in parts of the state, with the Election Commission closely monitoring the situation, he added.
"We have been asked to remain on high alert and ensure that any attempt to disturb peace is dealt with firmly," a senior police officer said.
The state authorities have intensified vigil across districts, with coordinated efforts between the police and central forces to prevent any untoward incident, he added.
The assembly elections were held in West Bengal in two phases - April 23 and 29. The counting of votes took place on May 4.
The BJP sealed a landslide victory with 207 seats in the 294-member assembly, ending the TMC's uninterrupted 15-year rule in the state.
