A newlywed groom from Karnataka, Harish Babu, died by suicide on his wedding night, shocking family and friends. Police are probing family pressure and mental stress as possible reasons behind the tragedy.
Kolar, Karnataka,July 04,2025: – What was supposed to be the happiest day of his life turned into a heartbreaking tragedy. Harish Babu, a young man from Kolar district, died by suicide on the very night of his wedding, leaving his family, friends, and wife in shock.
Harish and the woman he loved had recently tied the knot through a court marriage. The ceremony was simple and joyful, with close family members present. Harish had taken a three-day leave from work to celebrate the occasion. But just hours later, on the wedding night, he was found hanging at home.
The sudden death has stunned the community, especially since no suicide note was recovered from the scene. Harish’s family is struggling to understand what led him to take such a drastic step immediately after the wedding.

“He returned from his wedding, not with joy but in a shroud,” a relative said emotionally.
Police investigation has revealed that Harish was initially unwilling to go through with the marriage, even though he was in a relationship with the bride. Reports suggest that he refused to marry, but the girl’s family allegedly pressured him into registering the marriage.
On the night of the incident, Harish is believed to have consumed alcohol, and police suspect that he may have taken the decision under emotional distress. However, this angle is still under investigation.
Police are treating the case with seriousness and have begun questioning family members, friends, and the bride’s relatives. Investigators are exploring whether there were any post-marriage disputes, or if Harish was suffering from mental pressure due to personal, emotional, or social factors.
A senior police official stated, “We are looking at all possibilities — including mental health, family dynamics, and pre-marital pressure. We want to uncover what truly led to this unfortunate end.”
This tragic incident brings to light sensitive issues like marriage under pressure, mental health, and the importance of emotional readiness in relationships. The final police report is awaited, but the loss of a life at such a moment continues to haunt those involved.
