'I cannot live anymore': Social media influencer Ronisha Satti attempts suicide, alleges harassment by fiance; he denies charges

JAMMU: Jammu-based Instagram influencer Ronisha Satti is undergoing treatment at a hospital after allegedly attempting suicide following a series of videos in which she accused her fiance, Prashant Sharma, of harassment and defamation.In videos posted on her social media handle, Satti alleged that Sharma harassed her and her family and spread false claims against them.“I cannot live anymore. All the proofs one can take from my lawyer. I never thought of doing such things on social media. I am going to kill myself,” she said in the video.Her mother, Reena Satti, alleged that the family had been facing sustained harassment and sought urgent intervention from authorities.“We were followed, harassed, and when I pleaded for my daughter’s safety, no one helped... If something happens to my daughter, who will be responsible? I want justice. If I don’t get justice within five days, I will end my life. The responsibility will be on the JK police, the crime branch."However, Prashant Sharma’s lawyer, Advocate Rajat Gupta, presented a different version of events, claiming that the two were in a relationship that had progressed to a ring ceremony.

“They (Prashant and Ronisha) were in a love relationship since September 2024, and later they formalised it with a ring ceremony in Jammu, attended by family members. From the start, Ronisha told my client, Prashant, she wanted to settle down. He agreed, and over time fulfilled her wishes with luxury shopping and expensive gifts worth several lakhs. When Prashant pressed for marriage, her family repeatedly delayed," he added.

"Later, they began abusing and threatening him, saying they never intended marriage. He was shocked to learn she was legally married before, with proceedings for dissolution pending. He filed a police complaint against Ronisha and her family, and the investigation concluded it was fraud, cheating, and conspiracy. A chargesheet was filed.""Subsequently, Ronisha filed her own complaint, alleging that Prashant refused marriage and tried to defame her with posts and videos. Police investigated, but my client denied owning those social media pages. Meanwhile, Ronisha’s brother tried to hack Prashant’s social media accounts, leading to a cyber complaint. After the FIR, Prashant approached the Court, which stayed the investigation," he added further.If you are having suicidal thoughts or are in need of emotional support, call suicide prevention helplines: Tele-MANAS helpline: 14416 or 1800-891-4416, SAHAI Helpline: 080-25497777.
