Abusive Husband Caught on CCTV Days Before Wife's Suicide

A shocking CCTV footage has emerged, purportedly showing Executive Engineer Gautam Meena engaging in acts of domestic violence against his wife, Anu Meena, in the days leading up to her death. Anu died by suicide on April 7, 2026.

Initially classified as a standard suicide, the investigation shifted dramatically after Anu's family allegedly discovered critical video and audio evidence on her mobile phone. This new evidence prompted the police to file a dowry death case against her husband.

The surfaced footage allegedly depicts Gautam Meena destroying property, including smashing a television, and physically assaulting Anu, with their minor child present. Mobile recordings reportedly corroborate repeated incidents of domestic abuse within the household.

Anu's brother filed a complaint alleging prolonged mental torture and harassment by Gautam over dowry demands. The family shared that Anu had expressed fears for her life via calls and messages, even recording abuse on her phone to ensure the truth would surface.

Family members also accused Gautam of attempting to harm them by releasing cooking gas, submitting digital evidence like money transaction screenshots. Anu's mother recounted instances where Gautam would return home intoxicated, assault Anu, and later apologize.

Investigators are now examining the CCTV footage, call records, and bank transactions to further the probe into the alleged dowry death. The emergence of this evidence has intensified the police investigation.
