A 25-year-old taxi driver in Indore died by suicide after recording a video in which he accused police of assault and corruption. The incident has led to the suspension of a sub-inspector, officials said on Wednesday.

The victim, Abhishek Patil, was found hanging at his home on Tuesday. Before his death, he recorded a video that later went viral on social media.

Allegations After Minor Road Accident

In the video, Patil claimed that his taxi had only lightly brushed against another car during a minor accident in the Rajendra Nagar area on Monday night.

He alleged that police sided with the other driver, assaulted him, seized his taxi, and demanded a bribe of ₹50,000. He also said he was threatened by officials at the police station.

Sub-Inspector Suspended, Probe Ordered

After the video surfaced, police took action and suspended sub-inspector Manohar Pal, who was present at the scene.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Shrikrishna Lalchandani said the matter has been handed over to an Assistant Commissioner of Police. A report has been sought within three days, and further action will depend on the findings.
