The Difference We Created
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.
Every contribution makes a difference. Your support helps us reach more victims of injustice, stand by them in their time of need, and help them find a path towards justice and dignity.

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.
≈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.
≈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.
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.

Testimonials
I sincerely thank Antara Ma’am and For Men India for giving my brother’s story a voice on a national level. Many people ignored my mails, but they listened and highlighted the truth about how my brother was harassed, used, and forced to take the extreme step. On 22nd July 2024, my brother committed suicide due to harassment in marriage, yet justice remains difficult because he was a man. In Punjab, no one talks about the IELTS marriage scam, but through their platform, people are now becoming aware. Until the system changes, at least we can protect others from falling into this trap. I truly appreciate their support in bringing awareness to this issue.
After joining For Men India, I have got courage and now I am fighting my case even better and the result is that the opposite party is ready to step down. I thank the entire For Men India's team from the bottom of my heart
I just want to sincerely thank you and your entire team for the incredible work you're doing—helping those who silently suffer. Today, when you all came to meet me, despite us being strangers, it truly meant a lot to me and my family. The warmth, support, and kindness you showed touched our hearts. You, Dipankar da, and the whole team are doing such an amazing job. Saying just ‘thank you’ might feel too small, but I genuinely appreciate everything. I’ll do my best to promote your NGO and I’m really looking forward to joining you all and standing beside the men who are suffering in silence.
Maam 😭 thanks a lot for tweeting for us and sharing our pain. We are seeing positive impact and police in action🙏 Sincerely appreciate your efforts for becoming voice for people like us🙏
I want to sincerely thank For Men India for giving me a voice when no one else would listen. As someone falsely accused under Section 498A, the emotional and legal trauma my family and I went through was unbearable. Most platforms hesitate to highlight men's side of the story, but For Men India showed courage, fairness, and empathy by allowing me to share my truth openly. The interview was not just about clearing my name — it was a healing process. The team was respectful, sensitive, and professional. They helped bring attention to the misuse of laws that can ruin lives, and through their platform, I found strength and support from many others going through similar struggles. This organization is doing important work — not against women, but for justice, truth, and gender-neutral fairness. I’m grateful to be part of the movement they’re building. Highly recommend them to anyone who needs a platform to share their side, or just wants to understand the other side of the story.
For Men India is doing incredible work advocating for men's rights in India, addressing critical issues with compassion and dedication. Their tireless efforts to raise awareness and promote equality are truly commendable. The organization's initiatives provide a vital platform for men to voice their concerns and seek justice. Their impactful campaigns foster positive change and challenge societal stereotypes. Kudos to For Men India for their unwavering commitment to fairness and support for men. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you for the truly indispensable work you are doing. Facing a false 498A pursuit is devastating and isolating, and your support provides a crucial lifeline, helping individuals maintain their resilience and fight for justice. Your initiative to collect and document these cases is an incredible contribution. By providing firsthand evidence and organized data, you are directly aiding the legal system in troubleshooting its flaws and ensuring the law is applied fairly and with due process for all citizens. This advocacy is essential for systemic change, and I am profoundly grateful for your courage and dedication.
For Men India, the title says it all. It wouldn't be much even if I thank your team everyday, the help and support you gave me is immense. I am a victim of false case & that too crime against women but still they didn't hesitated to come out and help me, Antara mam not only took my interview but also guided me through the case, the positivity and support I got from her team is speechless.
