A 26-year-old man, identified as Sunny Kumar (also known as Rahul), committed suicide live on Facebook on Sunday night (16) in Bareilly, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. The incident took place near the Izzatnagar police station.

According to family members, Sunny lived in Haldwani with his wife, Kajal, and their three children, where he participated in religious rituals and ceremonies. A few days ago, the couple had an argument, and Kajal returned to her parents’ home in Paharganj with the children. Sunny traveled from Haldwani to Bareilly on Sunday night. Upon arriving home, he spoke with his wife on the phone and then began a live stream on Facebook from one of the rooms.

The video, which lasted approximately five minutes, was viewed by family members and caused panic among them. The police were called; Sunny’s cell phone was seized, and they are examining the video and call logs as part of the investigation. The body was sent for an autopsy.

Family members on both sides are being questioned to clarify the circumstances of the marital dispute. Sunny is survived by his wife and three young children.
