At first, the note surfaced on her FB profile but was later deleted. Mani's family suspects that it was deleted by Nitheesh, as per a report by Manorama News.

Speaking to the news portal, Mani's mother Shailja, said, "Neetu is the reason behind my daughter's death. She and their father, Mohanan, tortured my daughter. They even cut her hair. She never told me anything, saying I would get upset. Look at my state now".

In her suicide note, Mani wrote, "I have not had enough of seeing my daughter’s face." Furthermore, she alleged, "I used to silently endure their harassment. They used to say the wedding was not grand enough, the dowry was insufficient, and that it didn’t include a car. They called me homeless, broke, and said I lived by begging for money. Even though they had enough money, they harassed me for my salary".
