In a disturbing incident in Gurgaon, 36-year-old associate operator Sanjeev Yadav was found hanging at his residence in Surat Nagar, prompting a complex criminal investigation. The deceased, who worked at a multinational company, died on Thursday while only his wife, Manpreet Kaur, and their seven-year-old son were present at the home. The case has garnered significant News attention due to allegations of foul play and the shocking nature of the evidence reportedly captured by the child.

The immediate trigger for the tragedy appears to be marital discord, with Manpreet seeking a divorce. Upon discovering Sanjeev’s body, Manpreet reportedly informed her family and Sanjeev’s relatives. However, the circumstances surrounding the death have raised serious doubts among the family members. According to police, the couple’s seven-year-old son is believed to have recorded a video on a mobile phone showing his father hanging, while his mother could be heard shouting for help. This footage has become a central point of inquiry, as it provides a visual account of the events leading to the discovery of the body.

Sanjeev’s sister, Kiran, has publicly alleged that her brother had been under immense stress due to his wife’s decision to seek a divorce. She claimed that the circumstances surrounding his death were suspicious and demanded a thorough investigation. Kiran specifically questioned whether Sanjeev, whom she described as weighing more than 100 kg, could have hanged himself, citing the video evidence as inconsistent with a typical suicide scenario. The family’s distrust has led them to allege foul play, suggesting that the death might not be what it initially appears to be.

Police have responded to these allegations by questioning Manpreet Kaur as part of the ongoing probe. The investigating officer, Sub-Inspector Mahender Singh, stated that the case is being investigated from every angle. He emphasized that the postmortem report is still awaited and will reveal the exact cause of death. Until that report is released, further legal action will be determined based on the findings. The police are also likely to analyze the video footage recorded by the child to ascertain the timeline and nature of the events.
