NEW DELHI: A 40-year-old man, the owner of a cafe in northwest Delhi, allegedly died by suicide at his home in Model Town on Tuesday evening, prompting allegations from his family that his wife and in-laws harassed him during their divorce proceedings.
The couple, married since 2016, the co-owners of a popular bakery in Wazirpur and a cafe in GT Karnal Road which shut down last year, were reportedly in a contentious separation process that involved the division of their businesses.
Police said a call reporting the incident was received around 4.18pm on Tuesday. "A 40-year-old man was found lying on a bed in an unresponsive state with ligature marks on his neck. Prima facie, it appeared that he had hanged himself. The body was preserved for an autopsy," said deputy commissioner of police (northwest) Bhisham Singh.
