A bride-to-be filmed herself fatally drinking poison before sending the clip to an ex-boyfriend who was allegedly blackmailing her.

Nisha Devidas killed herself by drinking a thick black substance at her home in the village of Rohini, in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, just 10 days before her wedding.

Her grieving brother, Ravi Kavle, claimed she was sick of being blackmailed by her ex-boyfriend Nikhil Borkar.

He told local media: “My sister’s wedding was due on 4th February but she embraced death just 10 days before her marriage.

“A youth named Nikhil Borkar is responsible for my sister’s death. He lured my sister on the pretext of marriage, then used her and started blackmailing her.”

Kavle said his sister was “fed up and defeated,” and demanded that Borkar should be “immediately arrested.”

She was discovered by an unknown person and rushed to the District General Hospital in Bhandara but was declared dead on arrival.

Police say they are investigating. It was not clear whether they had interviewed Borkar.

The nature of the alleged blackmail was not stated.
