**Domestic Dispute in Karnataka Escalates as Man Attempts Suicide During Facebook Live Broadcast**
A domestic dispute in Karnataka took a dramatic turn when a man attempted to die by suicide during a Facebook Live broadcast, accusing his wife and her relatives of harassment and infidelity. The incident occurred within the jurisdiction of Jayanagar Police Station in Tumakuru district.
**Background**
The man, identified as Salman Pasha, recently returned to India after working as a hydraulic mechanic in Kuwait. Salman married Syed Nikhath Firdose four years ago. According to the police, the couple lived peacefully for the first two years of their marriage. However, tensions arose after Salman went abroad for work and his wife was pregnant with their second child.
**Allegations Made During Facebook Live**
In the live video, Salman accused his wife, her family members, and her relative Syed Burhan Uddin— the Tumakuru District President of AIMIM—of mental harassment and financial pressure. He further alleged that Nikhath was involved in an illicit relationship with Burhan Uddin and had prevented him from meeting his two children since his return to India.
Salman also accused the women’s police station of bias, claiming that officers supported his wife’s family. He stated that he had previously been jailed in a false case.
Shortly after making these allegations on Facebook Live, Salman attempted suicide. He was rushed to Tumakuru District Hospital and is currently undergoing treatment.
**Response from Family and Authorities**
Salman’s family has filed a complaint with the Superintendent of Police’s office, demanding a fair and thorough investigation into the matter.
In response, Salman’s wife, Nikhath, rejected the allegations, describing them as fabricated and a part of planned drama. She stated, “Earlier too, he had created drama by pretending to drink soap water. He has threatened to pour acid on me at my workplace. I had already filed a complaint about his threats. Now he is only trying to create drama to gain sympathy.”
Police officials confirmed that an investigation is underway and that statements from both parties are being verified before any further action is taken.
