Apparently unable to bear the alleged humiliation meted out to him by the host of a reality TV show, a participant died after he went into a state of depression, his family has claimed.
“Laxman (25) was suffering from depression ever since he was humiliated at reality TV show Rakhi Ka Insaaf, hosted by drama queen Rakhi Sawant following which he was admitted to Jhansi Medical College hospital on November 9. Unable to bear the ignominy, he stopped taking his food and eventually died yesterday,” his uncle Balbir, who had also taken part in the programme, alleged.
“Ever since he was humiliated and called names by the anchor in the programme aired on October 23, he had become an object of rebuke. This had caused him mental agony and he stopped taking food,” he claimed.
“We had gone to the programme hoping that it would help resolve Laxman’s marital problems with Anita, whom he had married on February 19 this year. However, instead of finding a solution, unfounded charges were levelled against us by Rakhi who also branded Laxman as impotent,” his uncle alleged.
Though the family has not yet filed any police complaint, they are thinking of moving the court against the programme and the anchor, Balbir said.
Meanwhile, the police said it would be able to act only in case of a complaint.
