Accenture Faces Backlash After Bengaluru Engineer’s Suicide Video Goes Viral

The 34-year-old tech professional reportedly died by suicide, leaving behind a 40-page note accusing his wife of mental harassment and extortion. The case has ignited online outrage, with many users targeting the multinational corporation over allegations concerning the deceased’s wife.

The engineer’s death gained attention after a video he recorded, recounting his ordeal, surfaced on various social media platforms. The viral clip has fueled demands for accountability, with users claiming that his wife, allegedly employed at Accenture as an analyst, played a role in his distress. Screenshots purportedly showing the wife's LinkedIn profile have been widely circulated as part of the allegations.

Social media users have called for swift action from the company, with several posts urging Accenture to terminate the alleged employee. One prominent post addressed to the company’s official X (formerly Twitter) account stated, “Dear @Accenture, you have 24 hours to fire. Your time starts now.”

Following this wave of criticism, the company’s account on the platform was set to private, further fueling public speculation and debate. The incident has sparked discussions about workplace conduct and personal accountability, with some questioning the fairness of targeting an employer for personal disputes. Meanwhile, Accenture has not issued an official statement at the time of writing.
