Manav Singh

Common card · No. 310054

Manav Singh ([maːnɛʋ sɪ́ŋɡ]; 27 November 2002 – 4 May 2020) was a 17-year-old boy from Gurugram, India, who died by suicide after being accused of sexual harassment by Bhavleen Kaur on her Instagram stories. The boy took his own life by jumping off the 11th floor balcony of his home on 4 May 2020. Following the allegations, he was bullied, shamed, and received threats. The police investigation around the suicide has been claimed to be faulty, leading to the boy's parents filing a petition in a Gurgaon court, which noted that the police had been working at a low pace for 'reasons best known to them'. In June 2021, National Human Rights Commission of India intervened and declared that the investigation had been vitiated and not fair, directing the case to be transferred to the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID). The allegations and the suicide happened on same day as the Bois Locker Room incident, and surfaced to the internet on the next, leading many to assume that they were related.
