Mandeep has informed his family members about this. In this situation, Mandeep could not bear the cruelty of her husband and her family and committed suicide on 3rd August.
Before committing suicide, Mandeep Kaur had recorded and published a video. The video itself exposed Mandeep’s years of violence at the hands of her husband to the world.
In a video posted by Man Deep, he said, “I have endured for years. I wanted to save this marriage. I hoped he would mend his act one day. But 8 years have passed. I can’t beat it everyday anymore. They are forcing me to commit suicide. Dad… I’m going to die. Forgive me,” said Mandeep with tears in his eyes.

In an interview to a private news agency, Mandeep’s father said, “We hoped that this violence would end one day. We intervened in their problem once and lodged a complaint with the police station in New York. We also showed police the video footage of Mandeep being beaten by her husband. But my daughter asked me to withdraw the case after my daughter’s husband apologized. Due to this we also withdrew the case. “My daughter was very worried about the future of her children.”
Mandeep’s parents have also requested the Indian government to help bring their daughter’s body to India. Following this, many people have been posting comments on social media demanding justice for Mandeep. Punjabis living in America are also protesting for Mandeep.
The information about the action taken against Ranjotpur Singh, who caused the death of Mandeep, has not been released yet.
