An incident has rocked Madhya Pradesh's Rewa district after a 26-year-old man, Shiv Prakash Tripathi, took his own life by hanging himself during a live stream on Instagram. His wife, Priya Sharma, saw the video silently for 44 minutes without reporting it to anybody.

Tripathi and Sharma had been married for two years. Initially, their marriage was okay, but after a few months, things turned out differently. Tripathi discovered that Sharma had been secretly communicating with another person. He never reported the matter and instead attempted to save their relationship.

It became more difficult after Tripathi was injured in an accident and was forced to walk on crutches. It was then that Sharma shifted to her parents' place with their newborn baby. Tripathi visited her multiple times, requesting her to come back, but she did not budge. She even attacked him, as per reports. 

On the fateful day, Tripathi had visited Sharma's residence once more to convince her to return home. However, according to the news reports, he was humiliated and attacked for the second time. Helpless, he also went back to his residence and locked himself in a room. Soon after that, he opened a live feed on Instagram and took his life.

What astonished everyone was that Sharma sat through the whole 44-minute livestream without doing anything to halt it or summon assistance.

When Tripathi’s family found out what had happened, they watched the video and immediately contacted the police. Sub-Divisional Police Officer Umesh Prajapati said that Sharma’s extramarital relationship came to light during the investigation. Domestic problems are believed to have played a role in the incident, he added.

Sharma and her mother have been taken into judicial custody as part of the ongoing investigation. Tripathi’s phone and social media accounts have also been seized to gather more evidence.
