In a deeply unsettling case from Korba, Chhattisgarh, a 28-year-old man named Vidyasagar has died by suicide after allegedly ingesting perfume. His family has pointed towards his recent mental distress and have controversially suggested that black magic might be a contributing factor in his death, prompting a police investigation.
Vidyasagar, a mechanic by profession, was reportedly a quiet and hardworking individual. He had recently married in 2025, and his wife is expecting a child. While occasional drinking was part of his habits, no major behavioral issues were previously reported by his family, adding to the shock of his demise.
The incident took a peculiar turn when Vidyasagar, a few days after receiving an online perfume order, took the bottle to his room on January 5th. According to his family, he consumed the perfume before hanging himself. This disturbing discovery was made when the family investigated his lack of response.
He was promptly transported to Katghora government hospital and later referred to the district medical college hospital due to his severe condition, where he ultimately passed away. Police intervention followed, with officers recovering the empty perfume bottle from the room, a crucial piece of evidence in their inquiry.
Family statements have highlighted Vidyasagar’s fluctuating mental state in the days leading up to his death. They have voiced strong suspicions that he was under the influence of some form of black magic or a similar dark practice, which they believe exacerbated his mental anguish. Authorities are proceeding with the investigation, which includes forensic analysis of the perfume bottle and detailed interviews with relatives and acquaintances.
While the police focus on standard investigative procedures, the family’s supernatural claims add a layer of complexity to the case, leaving many questions unanswered about the true causes behind Vidyasagar’s tragic end.
