[deadparrot]

Mumbai, June 4: When Amit Pathak, 30, unloaded his 0.32 licenced revolver late on Sunday night to play a prank on his wife, little did he know that it would cost him his life. Pathak, an estate agent and a resident of Dahisar, shot himself dead at around 11 pm on Sunday. According to police, Pathak just wanted to play a prank on his wife Nitu.

“He had unloaded four bullets from his revolver but one accidentally remained inside. He put the pistol on his forehead and pressed the trigger, not once but thrice. There was a bullet in the third case which killed Pathak,” said Senior Police Inspector RR Thakur.

Pathak, who lived with his two elder brothers and parents, came back home from work at around 6 pm on Sunday. At around 8 pm he opened a bottle of whisky and called his wife and children—Sphurti, 7 and Aaryan, 3, in the room. At around 11 pm, while he was still drinking, he sent his children to the dining room, while his wife stayed back. According to the police, he took out the revolver from his cupboard. He then asked Nitu some personal questions and told her that if she does not answer them in positive, he would shoot himself.

“Nitu was very scared of weapons and Amit enjoyed this. However, this time luck was not on his side,” said a relative of Pathak. After he shot himself, his brothers—Arun and Ajay rushed him to a hospital where he was declared brought dead.

4. That's what I was thinking

Methinks the family doesn't want to publicly admit what really happened.

9. Definite suicide

Definite Suicide. You don't accidentally leave rounds behind when emptying a revolver.

5. How do they know it was supposed to be a joke ...

...if he's not around to say, "Oops! Just kidding!"

Secondly, what kind of a sick fuck thinks that's a funny joke?

6. He sounds like

an abuser. Terrorizing his wife like that by asking personal questions with the threat of shooting himself? If he was that stupid at least there is no one to blame but him.
