Mumbai, Sept 29: A 24-year-old MBA girl shocked many with her "weird" act. Nidhi Singh committed suicide and recorded the entire act in her cell phone.
Nidhi's husband and the rest of the family members were shocked after citing her decision to end her life. Nidhi left a suicide note stating "no one is responsible" behind her gruesome act.
Thane police stated, "She recorded her suicide on her cellphone. She also left behind a note, which was in Hindi but scriptted in Roman alphabets, holding no one responsible for the act. She also apologized to her husband."
However, in her suicide note, Nidhi reportedly claimed that she was depressed and had regret about her love marriage. The recorded mobile phone footage was 1.33 minutes long.
Police said, "Samdashi (Nidhi's husband) said that around 9:30 am, when he was leaving for work, Nidhi requested him to talk with her for 10 minutes. He complied but she again tried to stop him. He ultimately left as he was getting late for work. Around 10 am, he received an SMS from her saying 'sorry'. But he did not take it seriously."
Nidhi's father, who tried to contact her for the whole day, got scared and informed their relatives. Nidhi's husband stated, "Around 9.30 pm, I went along with my relative to the flat. But when my wife did not answer the knocks, we informed the police. The fire brigade was called and they broke open the door to find her hanging from the ceiling."

Nidhi Singh, the 24-year-old woman who committed suicide at her residence in Andheri (East) on Tuesday, was allegedly being tortured by her husband and in-laws for dowry. The police said she was reluctant to inform her parents about it as she had married against their will.
Singh’s parents told the police she was being tortured and harassed by Samdashi, who is employed as an assistant manager with a private bank. He and his parents had been allegedly demanding Rs 5 lakh from Singh for their daughter’s marriage.
Sources in the MIDC police station said she had left a video recording revealing how her in-laws had harassed her.
Singh, who was from Kanpur, met Samdashi while he was there on a project. They fell in love and decided to get married. The couple got married in February this year and shifted to Mumbai after staying in Delhi for a few months.
On Tuesday, when Singh’s father could not get in touch with her, he asked a relative to check on her. She was found hanging at her residence by her husband and relative.

I think this is the first case in which women uses video recording,left a suicide note .Circumstances evidences is different thing.My question is whether it it is called dying declaration ? Here the girl said in a note;no one is responsible now whether their family members liable to be punished ?
(Hearsay evidences are not given any weightage inthe courts Dying declaration is an exception to this rule because if this evidence is not considered very purpose of the justice will be forfeited in certain situations when there may not be any other witness to the crime except the person who has since died. Sometimes it the best evidence in such situations. Its admissibility is explained in the section 32 (1) of Indian Evidence Act. According to this section when the statement is made by a person as to the cause of his death, or any of the circumstances of the transaction which resulted in his death, in cases in which the cause of that person’s death comes into question.)
A suicidal note written found in the clothes of the deceased it is in the nature of dying declaration and is admissible in evidence under Section 32 of Indian Evidence Act.
