About Anurag Dobhal’s alleged suicide attempt
Earlier, in the first week of March, Anurag shared a video on his YouTube channel accusing his family of mental harassment and torture. He claimed that his family was against his interfaith marriage with Ritika and did not even allow her to enter the house.
In the video, he also alleged that his parents and his brother, Kalam, had “taken away everything” from him and said they would be responsible if anything happened to him. Later, Anurag’s brother responded to the claims, stating that the allegations were one-sided. He also alleged that Anurag’s wife Ritika had left him because of his alleged wrongdoings and claimed that the YouTuber was doing all of this for views.
A day later, Anurag went live on Instagram and allegedly attempted suicide by crashing his car. He was reportedly driving his Toyota Fortuner on the Delhi–Meerut Expressway, with the speedometer reportedly showing 140–150 kmph. During the livestream, he told viewers that he felt completely alone and had no one left to call. He described it as his “final ride” before crashing the vehicle.
The YouTuber suffered fractures, as revealed by his manager, and was admitted to hospital immediately. His wife Ritika, also visited him at the hospital.
Following the incident, on March 10, Anurag’s brother Kalam claimed that the YouTuber’s fans had gathered outside their house and were threatening to “burn them alive”. He also alleged that Anurag had previously filed cases against him and their family for domestic violence, caste prejudice and dowry harassment, which were later withdrawn in December. Anurag is yet to respond to his brother’s statements.
