In a bizarre incident, a techie from Bangalore committed suicide after recording a videographed message in which he blamed his second wife for his death.
Syed Magdoom, aged 40 years, committed suicide at his residence at J C Nagar claming that he was unhappy with the treatment meted out to him by his second wife.
Syed, who worked as a professional head, in his video-recorded statement said that he was ending his life after being betrayed by his second wife Muskan Seher.
"She harassed and blackmailed me emotionally. My son Rihan means the world to me. But I was prevented from meeting him. I was asked to pay Rs 10 lakh and a dowry harassment case was booked against me," Syed said.
Syed's first wife was a Canadian lady. However, the two separated later. He then got married to a Bangalore based lady called Muskan Seher and had a child with her.
However, even they too separated; following which he married Ayesha, in Bangalore. Since Ayesha was pregnant, Syed sent her to her home town in Ahmedabad. After she left, he killed himself.
