Three days ago, the deceased, Nishant Tripathi, had placed a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign outside the hotel room that he had checked into just three days earlier. He had also written a letter to hold his wife and aunt responsible for his demise, which he uploaded to his company's website.

‘Do Not Disturb’ Sign

Tripathi checked into Sahara Hotel three days prior to taking the extreme step. On February 28, he hung a sign outside his door that read "Do Not Disturb" and committed suicide by hanging himself in the bathroom.

Later, when the hotel staff found no response for a considerable amount of time, they opened the door using a master key, only to find him hanging inside. Airport police were then called, and the body was sent for post-mortem.

Mumbai suicide case: Nishant Tripathi’s suicide note

During the investigation, the police found a suicide note that Tripathi had uploaded onto his company website with a password. In the note, he expressed love for his wife, but also blamed her and his aunt 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."

“My son, Nishant, has left me. I am now nothing more than a living corpse. He was supposed to perform my last rites, but today, on March 2, I performed my son’s cremation at ‘ECO-MOKSHA’ in Mumbai. My daughter, Prachi, carried out her elder brother’s last rites," the grieving mother further said.

She herself exposed that she dedicated herself to fighting for women's rights, gender equality, and more, since she was sixteen. She helped save over 46,000 women in distress through organisations like Sakhi Kendra that secured justice for over 37,000 women and empowered thousands through employment and vocational training.

Additionally, she mentioned that she had raised her two children single-handedly and was extremely proud of it.

Later, Tripathi's mother lodged a complaint with the Airport Police. Initially, the police registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR), however, based on the complaint from the mother, a case was registered against his wife-Apoorva Parikh and his aunt-Prarthana Mishra under Section 108 of IPC.
