Viral Video Kills Man: FIR Filed On Culprit Lady!

It is already known that a horrifying incident happened in Kerala, where an innocent man committed suicide after a video shared by a girl in a bus seemingly depicting him in bad light went viral.

The tragic incident in Kerala has sparked a fresh debate on social media accountability and mental health, after police registered an FIR against a woman in connection with a man’s suicide in Kozhikode district. According to police sources, the woman had earlier recorded a video on a public bus, accusing a fellow passenger, Deepak, of behaving in an inappropriate manner. The clip was later uploaded on social media and soon went viral, attracting widespread attention and public reaction. Family members of Deepak allege that the online circulation of the video subjected him to severe humiliation and emotional distress.

Days after the video spread across platforms, Deepak was found dead at his residence. Police confirmed that he died by suicide. Initially, the case was registered as an unnatural death. However, following a complaint from the deceased man’s family, the Kozhikode Medical College Police Station registered a fresh case against the woman, citing charges related to abetment to suicide.

The police have stated that the investigation will examine whether the act of recording and publicly sharing the video directly contributed to the mental pressure faced by the deceased. Statements from witnesses, family members and technical evidence related to the social media post are being collected as part of the probe. The incident has triggered mixed reactions, with discussions emerging around the responsible use of social media, due process of law and the serious psychological impact of online public shaming.
