Rohtak Farmer Ends Life After Wife's Betrayal; Suicide Note Reveals Affair, Extortion And Abuse
Last Updated: In video testimonies recorded just before his death on June 18, Magan detailed how Divya and Deepak allegedly harassed him, demanding money under various pretexts A heartbreaking tale of betrayal, blackmail, and emotional torment has come to light from Dobh village in Haryana's Rohtak, where a young farmer ended his life, leaving behind explosive video messages that have sent shockwaves across the region. Magan, a modest and hard-working farmer, had lived a quiet life in Dobh until a harrowing revelation shattered his world. A year and a half into his marriage, he discovered that his wife, Divya, was already married and had a child. Despite the betrayal, Magan chose compassion over confrontation. Instead of filing a legal case, he paid off Divya's previous husband to formally separate the two, hoping to give his marriage a second chance. But peace eluded him. Over time, Divya's behaviour began to change, and Magan suspected she was involved with someone else. His suspicions were confirmed when he learned of her romantic involvement with a police officer named Deepak, posted in Sambhaji Nagar, Aurangabad. What followed, according to Magan's own words, was a spiral of psychological abuse and relentless extortion that pushed him to the brink. In video testimonies recorded just before his death on June 18, Magan detailed how Divya and Deepak allegedly harassed him, demanding money under various pretexts. He said Deepak wanted Rs 5 lakh for a job promotion and pressured him through Divya. 'I sold wheat I had cultivated with my own hands and gave Rs 1.5 lakh," Magan stated in the video, adding that on June 9, he mortgaged his gold bangle and somehow raised Rs 2 lakh which Divya transferred to Deepak's account. But the demands didn't stop. Magan revealed that Divya and Deepak began insisting on another Rs 1.5 lakh and even allegedly threatened to frame him for the murder of his own father unless he sold his ancestral land. The final blow came when Divya sent Magan a video of herself dancing intimately with Deepak, a clip that reportedly plunged him into a deep depression. The day he took his life, Magan recorded two emotionally charged videos and posted them on social media. In them, he pleaded for justice and narrated his ordeal, naming Divya and Deepak as his abusers. Addressing his adopted sister, Savita Arya, a social worker in Panipat, he voiced a powerful concern, 'Sister, when women cry, they are heard, even if they're wrong. But even if men are right, they die unheard. Please do something for men too." He also appealed to Rohtak MP Deepender Hooda and Meham MLA Balram Dangi, requesting them to ensure that his son would be cared for by his aging parents after his death. 'Please visit my home," he urged, 'and assure them that my child will remain with them." Shortly after uploading the videos, Magan walked to his farm and hanged himself from a tree. His death has cast a pall of grief over Dobh village. Villagers and family members, devastated by the tragedy, have demanded that authorities take swift and strict action against Divya and Deepak.

Rohtak shocker: Man dies by suicide after receiving obscene video of wife with lover; claims she pressured him to kill father, sell land for partner's promotion
ROHTAK: A man died by suicide after allegedly being harassed by his wife, Divya, and her alleged lover, Deepak, a police inspector said. The victim has been identified as Magan alias Ajay. A video that Magan received just before ending his life has now surfaced, showing Divya dancing while her boyfriend records the footage. During the video, the two can be seen engaging in obscene behaviour. According to Magan's family, Divya herself sent this video to her husband. The emotional trauma that followed reportedly led Magan to hang himself last week. Before dying, Magan recorded a video where he alleged that his wife Divya and her police officer boyfriend were mentally harassing him. He claimed Divya pressured him to murder his own father and sell ancestral land so that Deepak could get a promotion in his police job. In the video, Magan appealed to the police to take strict action against both of them. Magan's body was found hanging from a tree on the night of June 18 in Dobh village here. His family found the body after they began searching for him upon seeing the suicide video he posted on social media earlier that morning. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust! Expertinspector Click Here Undo In the video, Magan clearly held his wife Divya and her lover Deepak responsible for his suicide. He stated, 'Divya has an affair with Deepak, a policeman posted in Sambhajinagar (formerly Aurangabad), Maharashtra. Both of them have mentally tortured me.' He further revealed that both Divya and Deepak pressurised him to kill his father and sell ancestral property. 'They want to buy a flat in Mumbai using that money. But I can't kill my father, so I am ending my life,' Magan said. Magan also claimed that Deepak needed Rs 5 lakh for a job promotion. 'After selling wheat, I gave Rs 1.5 lakh to Divya. On June 9, 2025, I mortgaged my gold bracelet and gave her another Rs 2 lakh. The transaction records are in a file kept at home. Even after paying Rs 3.5 lakh, they were demanding another Rs 1.5 lakh from me,' he said. Magan said he discovered 1.5 years into the marriage that Divya was already married and had a son from that marriage. She did not legally divorce before marrying him. 'When I consulted a lawyer, he advised me to file a case since Hindu law doesn't allow remarriage without divorce. But I never took action and instead paid her to settle with her first husband.' In his last video, Magan addressed his rakhi sister, Savita Arya from Panipat, who works for women's rights. He said, 'Even if a woman is wrong, she gets sympathy by shedding a few tears. But even a right man ends up losing his life. Please do something for men too.' He also appealed to Rohtak MP Deepender Hooda and Meham MLA Balram Dangi. 'After my death, my son should stay with my parents. They are losing their only son. I urge the MP and MLA to visit my home and assure my parents that no one will take my son away from them.' Magan's family said the couple met through social media in 2019 and later registered their marriage. Initially, the family did not approve, but after Divya gave birth to a son, they accepted her. Magan's family stated that Divya had a job but never disclosed what it was. She often stayed away from home for days, using work as an excuse. They suspect it was during these trips that she met Deepak in Maharashtra. She left home on March 20, 2025, saying she was going for work but never returned. She remained in contact over the phone for a while and was later found to be living with Deepak in Maharashtra, from where she allegedly continued to harass Magan. ASI Sanjay from Bahu Akbarpur Police Station stated that efforts are being made to trace Divya. A team visited her parental home in Narnaund, Hisar, but family members claimed to have had no contact with her for years. Police are examining Magan's call records and bank transactions. Once evidence is consolidated, a team will be dispatched to Maharashtra to locate and apprehend Divya.

The Magan Civilisation: A glimpse into ancient trade and culture
The Magan civilisation, often associated with the region of modern-day Oman, played a significant role in the trade networks of the ancient world, particularly during the Bronze Age. Frequently mentioned in Mesopotamian texts, Magan is renowned for its rich resources, especially copper, which was vital for various industries of the time. Magan is believed to be located in the southeastern Arabian Peninsula, primarily in what is now Oman. Its strategic position enabled extensive trade with neighbouring regions, including Mesopotamia. This advantageous location facilitated the exchange of goods and ideas, establishing Magan as a crucial player in ancient trade networks. The Magan Civilisation: A glimpse into ancient trade and culture The Mesopotamians greatly valued Magan for its high-quality copper, essential for crafting bronze tools and weapons. In return, Magan imported bitumen, a valuable resource used for waterproofing boats and construction. The trade routes connecting Magan to Mesopotamia not only facilitated the exchange of tangible goods, but also fostered cultural and technological interactions, underscoring the interconnectedness of ancient civilisations. The Magan Civilisation: A glimpse into ancient trade and culture The Magan civilisation is often linked to the Indus Valley Civilisation through archaeological findings and trade artefacts. This connection suggests a complex network of trade that extended across the Arabian Sea, influencing cultural exchanges between these ancient societies. Similar artistic and architectural styles indicate a rich tapestry of interactions that shaped the development of both civilisations. Among the most distinctive features of the Magan civilisation are the beehive-shaped tombs found throughout northern Oman. These stone structures reflect the social complexity of the time and offer insights into the burial practices and belief systems of the Magan people. The design of these tombs bears a resemblance to similar structures in the Indus Valley, suggesting a shared culture and ideology. The Magan Civilisation: A glimpse into ancient trade and culture In the National Geographic programme featuring Albert Lin, the exploration of ancient trade routes and civilisations sheds light on the significance of Magan. Lin's work underscores the importance of archaeological research in understanding the complexities of ancient trade networks and their impact on the development of civilisations. I was fortunate to work alongside Albert Lin, a renowned presenter for National Geographic, in guiding him and his team through fascinating petroglyphs and beehive tombs in Wadi Tanuf in 2023. This exploration formed part of an episode about the Magan civilisation in the series 'Lost Civilisations'. The Magan Civilisation: A glimpse into ancient trade and culture Working with Albert was an inspiring experience. He is not only an accomplished engineer and scientist but also an adventurer who has triumphed over significant challenges. Following a severe accident in 2016 that resulted in the amputation of part of his right leg, Albert has continued to lead physically demanding expeditions with the aid of a high-tech prosthetic limb. His capacity to climb and navigate challenging terrains during our explorations was truly impressive. Among our adventures was a descent into the 7th hole, a major sinkhole in the Selma Plateau. The Magan Civilisation: A glimpse into ancient trade and culture One of the most intriguing petroglyphs we encountered in Wadi Tanuf depicts a central human figure flanked by two Indian cattle, signifying close ties to the Indus Valley —an image that stirred curiosity about the cultural narratives of the time. This rock art panel was first discovered by my dear friend Jeffrey Rose, a renowned archaeologist who has dedicated over 20 years to exploring human prehistory in Oman. The Magan civilisation stands as a fascinating example of how trade and cultural exchange shaped the ancient world and nurtured its prosperity. Its connections with Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley highlight the significance of regional interactions in the development of early societies. As research continues, our understanding of Magan's role in the broader context of ancient history will undoubtedly deepen, revealing more about the intricate web of human connections that defined the Bronze Age. Through ongoing exploration and study, we can uncover the rich legacy of this remarkable civilisation and its contributions to the tapestry of human history.
