‘Could've Hated You, But...’: Mumbai Man Dies By Suicide, Alleges Harrassment By Wife, Her Aunt In Note; Case Filed

Hanging a ‘do not disturb’ sign outside his hotel room, a 41-year-old man dies by suicide in Mumbai’s Sahara Hotel. He alleged harassment by his wife and her aunt in a suicide note, which he posted on the website of the company he worked for. Identified as Nishant Tripathi, the victim checked into the hotel three days before he was found dead at the hotel last Friday. The hotel room staff entered his room using the master key after receiving no response from the victim for a long time. The hotel staff informed the police after finding him dead.

The police have filed an FIR against his wife, Apoorva Parikh, and aunt, Prarthana Mishra, for abetment of suicide and launched an investigation into the matter. The FIR was registered on the complaint from the victim’s mother, Neelam Chaturvedi, who is a women’s rights activist.

During the investigation, police found a password-protected suicide note on his company website. In the suicide note, Nishant Tripathi expressed his love for his wife, but held her and her aunt responsible for the grave step. "Hi babe, by the time you read this, I’ll be gone. In my last moments, I could’ve hated you for everything that happened, but I don’t. For this moment, I choose love. I loved you then. I love you now. And as I had promised, it’s not going to fade," the suicide note reads, as reported by NDTV.
