Living corpse: Mumbai mans mother pens emotional note after he dies blaming wife
The Mumbai Police booked the deceaseds wife and her aunt for abetment of suicide.
Mumbai suicide: The mother has filed a complaint against her daughter-in-law and another relative, who were named in a suicide note left by her son.
After a Kanpur native died by suicide amid a marital dispute with his wife in Mumbai Ville Parle last week, his mother penned an emotional note in grief.
This comes amid an uproar over the lack of gender-neutral laws to protect men in marital disputes after several such cases have been reported in the last few months.
"Today I feel like a living corpse. You are seeing me as a living person, but the truth is that I am dead," the mother wrote in a long Facebook post.
She further wrote that her "life is over now" since her son was no more.
"My son left me. I have now become a living corpse. He was supposed to perform my last rites but I have performed my son last rites today on 2nd March at "ECO-MOKSHA" Mumbai. My daughter performed her elder brother last rites. Give me and my daughter courage so that I can bear such a big thunderbolt," she said in the post.
The mother introduced herself as a women rights activist and shared her journey. According to the Facebook post, she was arrested when she was 18, and "countless struggles, movements, and fight for justice" marked her activism career.
"Through Sakhi Kendra and other means, I helped more than 46,000 suffering women to overcome their problems, got justice for more than 37,000 women, and provided employment and training to thousands of women to make them self-reliant,"
