A newly wed man allegedly hung himself to death following a domestic dispute — but not before sending his wife a selfie with a noose around his neck.

Parvej Barkatulla Khan (22), a resident of Lily apartment of Evershine Nagar in Nallasopara (east), got married two months ago. Khan was living in the flat along with his wife, his parents and sister. Two days ago, Khan’s wife moved to her parents’ house, sources said. Members of the locality told the police that Khan’s wife had moved to her parents’ house, located in the vicinity, following a squabble between the couple.

Khan committed suicide on Thursday evening by hanging himself from a ceiling fan with the help of a rope, when his parents were taking a nap, said a police officer requesting anonymity.

But before committing suicide, Khan clicked his selfie and sent it to his wife via WhatsApp. In the selfie, Khan appears with a noose around his neck. Khan’s father discovered his son’s body when he woke up from his nap and rushed him to a nearby hospital for treatment, where doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.

The preliminary report revealed that at the time of the incident, Khan was under the influence of alcohol.
