"I am about to commit suicide because I have been extremely tortured by my in-laws and wife. We have already filed for a mutual divorce on certain agreed terms and conditions. When it comes to mutual divorce, there are certain terms and conditions, which we have mutually agreed upon," he said in the nearly two-minute video accessed by India Today TV.

He alleged a manipulation of conditions decided upon such that his wife's relatives forced him to comply without regard to "beyond my scope".

"They are asking for another Rs 10 lakh, which I don't have any capacity to pay off. I asked my parents to pay for it. They have already paid enough because of me," he said in the video.

"We have signed a bond in court. We have committed to respect the court and agreed to fulfill those conditions within a stipulated time period that is usually allocated by the court for 180 days. We are approximately 90 days through the stipulated time period and another 90 days are left," Khurana further said.

Khurana, 40, co-owner of a bakery called 'For God's Cake,' committed suicide at his residence in north Delhi's Model Town on Tuesday. By torturing him, parents of his wife had even dared him to do suicide in their divorce proceedings. His couple was going through divorce proceedings.
