Mumbai suicide case: A 41-year-old man died by suicide in the bathroom of Mumbai’s Sahara Hotel. Before taking his life, he placed a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign outside his hotel room. He also wrote a letter and uploaded it on his company’s website, holding his wife and aunt responsible for his death.
According to the police, the deceased, identified as Nishant Tripathi, had booked a room in the hotel three days before his suicide. On February 28, he placed a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on his door and ended his life by hanging himself in the bathroom. When the hotel staff received no response for a long time, they used a master key to enter the room and found him hanging. The airport police were immediately informed and sent the body for post-mortem.
Following the incident, Nishant’s mother filed a complaint at the Airport Police Station. Initially, the police registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR), but later, based on the mother’s complaint, a case was filed against his wife, Apoorva Parikh, and his aunt, Prarthana Mishra, under Section 108 of the Indian Penal Code.

During the investigation, the police discovered a suicide note uploaded on Nishant’s company website, secured with a password. In the note, he expressed his love for his wife while also holding her and his aunt responsible for his death.
“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,” Tripathi reportedly wrote in his last note for his wife.
He further expressed, “My mother knows that among all the other struggles I faced, you and Prarthana Mausi [aunt] are also responsible for my death. So, I beg you, don’t approach her now. She’s broken enough. Let her grieve in peace.”
