Days after 30-year-old IT employee Manav Sharma was found dead in his home on February 24, his wife, Nikita Sharma, has broken her silence, denying allegations of any role in his death and instead highlighting his alcohol addiction and history of self-harm.
Hours before Manav Sharma was found dead in his home, Nikita Sharma's WhatsApp messages to her sister-in-law have surfaced, revealing a disturbing last conversation. In the chats, Nikita's sister-in-law seemingly reassures her, telling her to ignore the situation and sleep, even as Manav allegedly struggled with distress.
The messages, now part of the ongoing police investigation, have added another layer to the case, where Nikita has denied all allegations of foul play. Instead, she claims that Manav battled alcohol addiction, had a history of self-harm, and had turned abusive in their marriage.
In the video statement, Nikita claimed that Manav frequently got drunk and assaulted her, a pattern she says worsened over time. She also alleged that she had informed his parents about his behavior, but her pleas were ignored.
"He had struggled with alcoholism and had hurt himself multiple times before. I kept telling my in-laws, but they never listened. Instead, they are now blaming me," Nikita said.Following Manav’s death, his father filed a police complaint, holding Nikita responsible. However, she has pushed back, calling the accusations baseless. When questioned about claims of infidelity, she clarified, "That was all before our marriage. Nothing happened after I married him."
