A shocking case has emerged from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, where a 26-year-old man, identified as Praval Gupta, the son of BJP Kankarkhera Mandal Vice-President Rajiv Gupta, died by suicide after allegedly consuming a poisonous substance amid ongoing marital disputes.

Before his death, Praval reportedly recorded an eight-minute video in which he held his wife, Sneha Gupta, and her family members responsible for his condition.

He alleged that he had been facing mental harassment, threats and pressure from his wife and in-laws since their marriage in November 2025.

He also accused his wife of physically assaulting his mother, misbehaving with his sister and pressuring him to transfer property into her name.

Praval further alleged that his wife had threatened to implicate him in multiple cases.

The couple had reportedly been attending counselling sessions at a police family counselling centre to resolve their marital disputes. During a counselling session on October 31, both sides reportedly levelled allegations against each other.

On November 1, Praval allegedly consumed poison and was found unconscious. He was rushed to hospital but succumbed during treatment at around 9:30 pm.

Tragically, upon receiving news of his son’s death, his father, Rajiv Gupta, reportedly suffered a heart attack and was admitted to hospital.

Police have stated that a detailed investigation is underway. They are examining the allegations made in the video, and further legal action will depend on the findings.

The case has once again brought attention to the devastating consequences of marital disputes.
