As police investigate the circumstances surrounding the Delhi cafe owner’s death, his estranged wife has deactivated or deleted her Instagram account where she shared several posts alluding to marital strife.
Manika Pahwa’s husband, 40-year-old businessman Puneet Khurana, died by suicide on New Year’s Eve.
A Delhi-based cafe owner, Puneet Khurana, tragically ended his life on December 31, reportedly after enduring alleged harassment and mental distress linked to his estranged wife. He was found dead at his residence in Model Town’s Kalyan Vihar area. Police have seized Khurana’s phone and launched an investigation into the matter.
In the days leading up to his death, his wife, Manika Pahwa, shared several Instagram posts alluding to marital strife. They were in the middle of getting a divorce. One Instagram post, as per a report by Republic Media Network, read:
“Well, feminism suits me, as idealistic values are my core, & feminism means giving & getting mere respect. To one another. No slave treatment, and no stopping some girl to speak her mind (sic). Even a housekeeper, guard, rikshawala, or tiny kid deserves respectful treatment. Once a coward fought with me that respect has to be earned. Ufff! What disgrace na? I disagree; respect has to be given to each and everyone,” Manika Pahwa reportedly wrote on Instagram.
As per a report by NDTV, Manika Pahwa had also posted about experiencing “toxicity and narcissistic abuse” while expressing a sense of newfound freedom.
Her Instagram account has since been deleted or deactivated, as the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Khurana’s death continues.
In yet another post, she wrote, “I just wish these abusers get to see the mirror someday and understand..that kindness, love, understanding, trust,wisdom, affection & care all are true virtues & hold much more importance than money,property & gold. God bless the unkind ones. I know nobody can change, but let’s just pray, nobody else should suffer because of some bunch of insecure cowards. My tribe, pray with me..okay? love you all… I am free, and the beautiful ruins are part of me (sic).”
