PATNA/ GUWAHATI: Buxar DM Mukesh Kumar Pandey had strenuous relations with his wife Ayushi Shandilya since their marriage, one of his colleagues said on Friday.
A video is doing the rounds in which Pandey (32) is seen saying that he is going to commit suicide and that he is recording the video at the circuit house in Buxar. “If you were seeing this message then it must be after my suicide.
I am pre-recording this video at the circuit house and here only I have decided that I will end my life after reaching Delhi,“ Pandey said, adding that he had become frustrated in life and the relation between his wife and his parents were not good.
“Me and my wife were just like chalk and cheese and we were not compatible with each other,“ Pandey said in the five-minute-long video, adding that while his wife was aggressive and extrovert, he was meek and introvert since childhood. “Excess of anything is bad and such excessiveness forces a person to take an extreme step,“ he said in the video, in which he called his wife “My Love Ayu“.
Pandey said no one should be blamed for his suicide, adding that he had thought to turn towards spiritualism and social work “but later I thought that it would also be a waste and (it's) better to embrace death“. TOI has not been able to verify the video.
The 2012-batch IAS officer had married Ayushi, daughter of a Patna businessman, Rakesh Singh, in 2013 and they have a three-month-old daughter.
A senior government official, who had worked with Pandey in Katihar where he was posted as deputy development commissioner prior to his posting in Buxar from March 31, said the officer used to live alone while his wife would visit him occasionally . “After his daughter's birth, he had said only his parents-in-law would decide her name,“ the officer said, adding that Pandey was very methodical professionally despite his “family problems“.

While Pandey's father-in-law owns a big automobile showroom in the heart of Patna, his parents Sudeshwar and Geeta, who live in Guwahati, are from a middle-class family .
Aformer security personnel deployed with Pandey has said, “Whenever he visited his in-laws' place in Patna, they would make him sit in the back seat of the SUV.“ None of Pandey's inlaws was available for comments.
His family in Guwahati said he had a normal conversation with his father, Siddheshwar Pandey , on Tuesday .However, on Thursday evening, his father received a message on WhatsApp in which Mukesh said he was upset and wanted to kill himself. “Immediately, Delhi Police was alerted,“ said a relative. Several of Pandey's friends and relatives also received it, but his phone was found to be switched off.
