The case drew comparisons to the recent suicide of Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old deputy general manager at a private firm, who tragically took his own life in December, allegedly due to harassment by his estranged wife and her family.

The husband and wife, co-owners of a popular bakery in Wazirpur and a cafe on GT Karnal Road, were reportedly going through a separation

Just days after a Bengaluru techie took his own life over alleged harassment by his wife amid divorce and child custody proceedings, another tragic case has emerged from the Model Town area of Delhi.

A man was allegedly found dead at his residence in Delhi on Tuesday evening, with the cops suspecting it as a death by suicide.

Puneet Khurana’s family said Puneet’s estranged wife Maneka Pahwa allegedly drove him to take the extreme step by mentally harassing him.

Less than a week before Delhi cafe owner Puneet Khurana died by suicide, his estranged wife and business partner Manika Pahwa had put up a cryptic post on social media stating that she had been subjected to "toxicity and narcissistic abuse".

The family members of the deceased, who is said to have been a businessman, have alleged harassment against his wife and in-laws.

The man, identified as 40-year-old Puneet Khurana, was found hanging in his home in Model Town's Kalyan Vihar area on Tuesday.
