Men’s Health and Mental Health

Family Law and Matrimonial Issues

The Difference We Created

vikas-sharma

Helping secure action in the Vikas Kumar abetment to suicide case

In 2025, For Men India actively supported the family of Vikas Kumar, a Noida-based corporate professional whose family alleged that he died by suicide after enduring sustained harassment by his wife and her family.

According to the family, Vikas had made four PCR calls during his marriage seeking police assistance due to repeated threats and cruelty. After his death, when the family approached Bisrakh Police Station to register an FIR, they alleged that the police initially refused to accept their complaint. The family further stated that they were told, “If your son has died, should we kill someone’s daughter?” They then approached senior police officials, presented Vikas’s suicide note and video, and only after sustained efforts was an FIR registered.

With no meaningful progress in the investigation, Vikas’s sister approached For Men India for assistance. We amplified the case by publishing a detailed video across our social media platforms, tagging the police and other concerned authorities while demanding immediate action. The campaign received widespread public attention, garnering millions of views and significant public support. Within days of the campaign gaining momentum, Vikas Kumar’s wife was arrested on 28 November 2025, highlighting the impact that public awareness and persistent advocacy can have in ensuring accountability and due process.

Supporting the family of Nishant Baranwal in their pursuit of justice

Nishant Baranwal was found dead under mysterious circumstances at his residence on 13 September 2024. While the post-mortem report concluded that the death was a case of suicide, Nishant’s family believes he was murdered. They allege that his wife destroyed crucial evidence and fled the house following his death.
According to the family, despite submitting CCTV footage that they say shows Nishant’s wife dragging his body outside the house, along with other evidence, the police did not register an FIR.

For Men India stood with Nishant’s family by bringing attention to the case through our social media platforms. Our videos reached millions of people, helping spread awareness and highlighting the family’s demand for a fair and impartial investigation. We also urged the concerned authorities to ensure that all evidence was thoroughly examined.

The family is currently pursuing the matter in court, and For Men India continues to remain in touch with them, providing support and advocating for a fair investigation and due process.

Helping Assistant Professor Aniruddh Kumar Secure Relief from Harassment

Aniruddh Kumar, an Assistant Professor at Assam University, Diphu Campus (Karbi Anglong, Assam), approached For Men India after facing severe harassment from his wife and father-in-law less than a year into his marriage. According to him, he was physically assaulted, threatened, and pressured for alimony. He was also implicated in a false molestation case, forcing him to live in fear and making it difficult for him to obtain help.

After reviewing the matter, For Men India took up his case and contacted the Assam Police, the Director General of Police (DGP), and the Karbi Anglong Police, requesting a fair and impartial investigation. Following our intervention, the threats and harassment against Aniruddh stopped.

But without conducting a fair investigation,  University suspended him. Aniruddh then challenged his suspension at Gauhati HC and the judgment was passed in his favour after which his suspension from service was revoked. However, the university authorities subsequently issued Aniruddh a penalty notice and an order for compulsory retirement. He challenged the decision before the High Court, where the matter is currently pending.

Brought Gaurav Hada's Case to Public Attention

Gaurav Hada, a 19-year-old B.Pharm student from Indore, died by suicide after allegedly facing prolonged harassment from his girlfriend who was a teacher.

Following his death, Gaurav’s father approached For Men India seeking support in ensuring that his son’s story reached the public.
We conducted an exclusive interview with Gaurav’s father and sister, providing them a platform to present their account of the events and the circumstances they believe led to his death.

Why we do what we do?

≈72% of suicide deaths in India are among men – These alarming figures reflect critical gaps in mental health support, stigma around seeking help, and social expectations around emotional resilience.

(NDTV 2025 Report)

≈60% of prostate cancer cases in South Asia are from India – Prostate cancer is becoming increasingly common and often goes undetected until advanced stages due to limited screening and awareness.

(MyHealthMeter 2025 Report)

≈53% of rape cases filed are found to be false – Delhi Commission for Women.   These figures point to alarming statistics, which in turn can leave individuals subject to prolonged legal stress.

(India Today 2014 Report)

The Broader Implication

These statistics and social indicators show a pattern of systemic challenges faced by men:

  • Men are more likely to suffer in silence.

  • Men are less likely to access preventive health care.

  • Men often lack affordable legal and socio-economic support structures.

Addressing these gaps is about strengthening public health, economic productivity, and social stability. When men face untreated health conditions, mental distress, legal vulnerability, or limited economic opportunity, the effects extend beyond individuals to families and communities. Poor health outcomes reduce workforce participation and increase long-term healthcare burdens. Unaddressed mental health challenges contribute to family strain and social instability. Limited access to legal support and skill development weakens economic mobility and institutional trust.

When men have access to preventive healthcare, mental health services, fair legal recourse, and meaningful employment opportunities, families become more stable and communities more resilient. Strengthening men’s health and rights is therefore not a zero-sum issue—it is an investment in stronger households, more secure communities, and a healthier society overall.
