Puneet Khurana, 40, owner of the popular Woodbox Cafe in Delhi, was found dead at his Model Town residence on December 31. Police confirmed he died by hanging and recovered a mobile phone containing video statements and call recordings, where Khurana alleged relentless harassment by his wife, Manika Pahwa, and her family drove him to take his life. In the video, Khurana described how divorce proceedings with Pahwa escalated into bitter conflicts, with her family allegedly demanding an additional INR 10 lakh, which he couldn't afford. He claimed financial and emotional abuse, adding that his parents had already paid significant amounts. Khurana's family accused Pahwa of hacking his social media accounts and using them to torment him further. A recorded call between the two revealed Pahwa allegedly using abusive language and making threats, further exacerbating Khurana's distress. On December 30, a heated argument over property and their co-owned bakery business, "For God's Cake," reportedly left Khurana despondent. Khurna's sister and family are demanding justice, accusing Pahwa and her family of harassment. The Delhi Police have launched an investigation and are analysing the video and recordings as part of the case.
