In a tragic incident in Amritsar, Ashwani Kumar, also known as Ashu Nahar, a driver employed by the Amritsar Municipal Corporation and a prominent leader of the corporation's employees' union, has allegedly died by suicide after shooting himself. The case has drawn significant attention due to a video recorded by Ashu before his death, which has been widely circulated on social media platforms.
Video Message Reveals Allegations and Apology
Before taking his own life, Ashu recorded a video where he expressed deep remorse and sought forgiveness from his two minor daughters. In the emotional footage, he explicitly accused his wife and her family members of subjecting him to physical beatings and persistent harassment. The video also showed his shirt appearing torn, adding to the distressing nature of the allegations. This recording has become a crucial piece of evidence in the ongoing police investigation.

Following the incident, law enforcement authorities swiftly arrived at the scene to initiate a thorough investigation. The body was sent for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. According to sources familiar with the case, Ashu had been experiencing ongoing domestic disputes with his wife, which are believed to have contributed to the extreme step he took.
Amritsar Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar confirmed that the police are actively investigating the matter. Key steps in the probe include:
- Taking possession of the deceased's mobile phone for detailed forensic analysis.
- Relying on the video recorded by Ashu to understand the circumstances leading to his death.
