Real estate dealer Kuldip Tyagi fatally shot his wife before dying by suicide, citing fear of burdening loved ones with the cost of uncertain treatment in his suicide note, police said.
In a harrowing act of despair and distorted devotion, a 46-year-old real estate dealer in Ghaziabad fatally shot his wife before taking his own life, leaving behind a chilling suicide note that has stunned the local community.
Kuldip Tyagi, a resident of the Radha Kunj society in Raj Nagar Extension near Delhi, used his licensed revolver to kill his wife, Anshu Tyagi, inside their bedroom around 11 a.m. on April 16.
The couple’s two sons were reportedly home at the time and rushed to the room after hearing gunshots. They found their mother lifeless on the bed and their father collapsed on the floor, gravely wounded. Both were declared dead upon arrival at a nearby hospital.
In a handwritten suicide note recovered from the scene, Tyagi revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer—a fact he claimed to have hidden from his family. He stated he did not want to burden his loved ones with the financial strain of an uncertain treatment. Most hauntingly, he justified the murder of his wife by citing a vow they had once made to never be apart.
"I am suffering from cancer, and my family is unaware of it," the note read. "I don’t want money to be wasted on my treatment because survival is uncertain. I am taking my wife along because we vowed to stay together forever. This is my decision. No one, especially my children, is to blame."
The couple is survived by their two sons and Kuldip’s father, a retired police officer.
Law enforcement officials confirmed the weapon used was legally owned. “Kuldip Tyagi shot his wife and then himself. His suicide note indicates he was battling cancer and had kept it secret from his family. We are investigating all angles,” said Poonam Mishra, a senior police officer on the case.
The bodies have been sent for autopsy as authorities continue to probe the tragic incident.
This grim episode underscores the profound psychological toll serious illnesses can take on individuals — and how mental health support remains a critical, and often overlooked, aspect of care.
