An associate operator at a multinational company was allegedly found hanging at his Surat Nagar house after his wife sought a divorce, police said on Saturday.
Acting on the family’s complaint, the police detained the wife and launched an investigation. The body of Sanjeev Yadav was found hanging on Thursday, according to the police. He was a native of Amritsar and lived with family in Gurugram’s Surat Nagar area. Sanjeev’s sister, Kiran, alleges that there had been a dispute between her brother and his wife. His wife had sought a divorce; otherwise, her brother could not have hanged himself. At the time, only his wife, Manpreet Kaur, and their seven-year-old son were at home. Manpreet immediately called her own family and Sanjeev’s parents to inform them of the suicide. Kiran insists that the circumstances surrounding her brother’s death must be investigated, as he did not commit suicide. Her brother’s wife wanted a divorce from him, she added. Sanjeev had been living in Gurugram since the wedding.
The deceased was identified as Sanjeev Yadav, 36, who worked as an associate operator at the Denso company, according to the police. She finds the video showing him hanging from the fan suspicious, noting that her brother weighed over 100 kg. Sanjeev and Manpreet Kaur, a resident of Ambala, had a love marriage on April 29, 2018, according to the police. Manpreet gave birth to a son in 2019 and quit her job shortly thereafter.
They had met about eight years earlier while working at the company ‘Denso’ in Gurugram and later got married.
“We handed over the body to kin after the postmortem and are investigating from every angle.
The post-mortem report of the deceased is awaited, which will reveal the exact cause of death and action will be taken as per the law”, said sub-inspector Mahender Singh, the investigating officer.
