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.

Sujit Nair raises concerns over speculation of DMK-AIADMK understanding to block TVK
Chennai: Journalist and political commentator Sujit Nair has expressed concern over speculation that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam could explore a post-poll understanding to prevent Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam from forming the government in Tamil Nadu.
In a social media post, Sujit Nair said the election verdict in Tamil Nadu reflected a clear public demand for political change and argued that the mandate should be respected irrespective of political preferences.
Referring to reports and political discussions surrounding a possible understanding between the DMK and AIADMK, he said he hoped such developments remained only speculative conversations and did not turn into reality.
Nair stated that if such an alliance were to take shape, it would raise serious questions about ideological politics in the country. He said TVK had emerged through a democratic electoral process and that the legitimacy to govern in a parliamentary democracy comes from the people’s verdict.
According to him, attempts to prevent an electoral winner from forming the government through unexpected political arrangements may be constitutionally valid, but many people could view them as politically opportunistic.
He further said that such a move could particularly affect the political image of the DMK, which has historically projected itself around ideology, social justice and opposition politics. Nair said that in ideological terms, the DMK appeared closer to TVK than to the AIADMK, and joining hands with its long-time political rival only to remain in power could weaken its broader political narrative.
He added that the same questions would apply to the AIADMK as well, as the party had spent decades positioning itself against the DMK and such an arrangement could create discomfort among its cadre and supporters.
Drawing a comparison with Maharashtra politics in 2019, Nair said he had expressed similar views when the Shiv Sena formed an alliance with the Indian National Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party after the Assembly elections.
He said post-poll alliances between long-standing political rivals often create a public perception that ideology and electoral mandates become secondary when political power equations come into play.
Nair also said such developments increase public cynicism towards politics and reinforce the belief among voters that ideology is often sidelined after elections.
He maintained that the Tamil Nadu verdict was emphatic and said respecting both the spirit and substance of the mandate was important for the credibility of democratic politics.
