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.
