He looked truly heartbroken as he talked about harassment by his estranged wife and in-laws.
Puneet Khurana, in his suicide video, talks about harassment faced by his estranged wife
In the clip, Puneet Khurana, who was dressed in a grey-hued t-shirt, looked in pain with unkempt hair and beard. Puneet claimed that they had filed a mutual divorce and agreed to certain conditions in court. He accused his wife, Manika and her parents for torturing him. He said:
“I am about to commit suicide because I am being truly tortured by my in-laws and my wife. We already filed for a mutual divorce.”
Puneet Khurana further shared that he was trying to fulfil the condition within the stipulated time period. He also claimed that halfway through the stipulated period, his wife and in-laws came up with new demands and asked him for an additional 10 lakh rupees, which he couldn’t pay. He stated that he had already asked his parents for a lot of money. Puneet, who was on the verge of breaking down, said:
“They are asking for another 10 lakh rupees, which I can’t pay off. I cannot ask my parents to further pay it. They have already paid enough because of me.”
Puneet further mentioned that he was also facing a lot of business disputes as his wife co-owned it. The late cafe owner’s family claimed that Puneet had a heated argument with his wife just a few days before his death, and it was related to their bakery business. Puneet also left voice recordings with his suicide note. The voice recording is proof of his argument with his wife.
Puneet Khurana was a popular owner of Delhi’s Woodbox Cafe
It was in 2016 that Puneet Khurana and Manika Pahwa tied the knot. For a year, everything was going smoothly in their marital bliss. They even opened Woodbox Cafe together. However, their marriage started falling apart after a year. Puneet’s family have been accusing Manika of harassing their son.
Amidst all the new developments, a CCTV video of Puneet’s heated conversation with Manika went viral. In the video, the estranged couple was sitting in the cafe, and Manika was rudely talking to Puneet. She was claiming that it was her life that got ruined. She was even seen threatening her husband that she would go to his relative’s place and would reveal what happened to her. Puneet clearly stated, “Any Day.”
Well, Puneet Khurana’s case yet again raises the question about the mental torture a man often goes through in a marriage. The laws which were made to empower women are being falsely used against the man and his family to extort money and torture them.
