Nagpur:

A man reportedly died by suicide during a Facebook Live after being blackmailed by his alleged girlfriend and her family members in Maharashtra's Nagpur, the police said.

On September 10, 38-year-old man Manish, in his Facebook Live, said he was being threatened with charges of rape by a 19-year-old woman, Kajal, who was allegedly his girlfriend, and her family members.

The man claimed that the woman and her family members demanded Rs 5 lakh during Facebook Live and threatened to press charges against him if he failed to give them the money, the police said.

On September 6, the woman was missing from her house, and her family members alleged that she eloped with Manish.

The 38-year-old man, who is married and is a father to three children, jumped into a river in Nagpur after harassment from her family.
