Mumbai Man Hangs Himself, Posts Suicide Note Blaming Wife On His Company's Website
A 41-year-old man ended his life inside a hotel room in Mumbai, India. Before taking the extreme step, he left a note blaming his wife and her aunt for the tragic incident. The note was discovered after the suicide. The individual, staying in the hotel room, left the note for others before committing suicide.
He had completed writing the note before making the decision to end his life. The suicide occurred before anyone could intervene.
On Friday, Nishant Tripathi was found dead in his room at Sahara Hotel. Authorities believe he attempted suicide. All details were provided by the officials investigating the case.
Prior to the act, Nishant had posted a statement on the website of the company he worked for, declaring his intention to take his life. In the note, he clearly expressed his decision to end his life.
Before hanging himself from the ceiling, Nishant used the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign to avoid any intrusion. The sign is commonly used by hotel guests for privacy. He had placed the sign three days prior to his suicide. He had also reserved the hotel room in advance.
Both events—putting up the sign and booking the room—happened days before the incident, suggesting premeditation.
When there was no response from the room for a long time, hotel staff used a master key to enter. They did so without first requesting permission. Upon discovering the situation, they informed the authorities immediately.
A women’s rights advocate, Neelam Chaturvedi, filed a complaint against Apoorva Parikh and her aunt Prarthana Mishra. The victim’s mother alleged that the two women encouraged the man to take his life.
The complaint said this occurred while the victim was in the act of committing suicide. The incident, as per the statement, happened at the time of the suicide.
In the suicide note, Nishant expressed both love for his wife and blamed her and her aunt for his death. He felt they were responsible for his decision. He also mentioned his disappointment over passing away.
He held them accountable for the emotional turmoil he endured.
He wrote a message saying:
“I will have already left with you by the time you finish reading this phrase, therefore if you continue reading, you will have already left with me. Make sure you keep reading if you are already doing so. Continue reading, and by the time you have finished, I will have already left with you once we have both completed.”
He mentioned that he might have viewed her differently had he known everything that had happened in the hours leading to his death, but still held no hate. He admitted he loved her deeply and completely.
He included the line, “And just as I had promised, it is not going to fade away.”
He stated that his mother knew his wife and her aunt were responsible for his death. Despite other life problems, he couldn’t overcome this challenge.
He requested that they not contact his mother and wrote, “Let her grieve in peace.” A draft of the document was also created.
Neelam Chaturvedi posted a long message on Facebook mourning the loss of her son. She expressed grief and said, “Today I feel like a living corpse.”
She had spent her entire life working for gender equality and women’s rights. She mentioned her lifelong identity as a woman and added that she had always fought for such causes.
She shared:
“My son, who was supposed to perform my last rites, was cremated today, March 2, at ECO-MOKSHA in Mumbai.”
She was devastated that he had to carry out such duties without her consent.
Her daughter, Prachi, carried out the funeral rituals for her brother. Neelam’s post concluded with:
“Give me and my daughter Prachi the courage to bear such a big thunderbolt so that I can be able to continue living.”
This incident brings attention to the rising demand for objective gender-based laws. Many suicides have been linked to allegations from the bride’s side or their families.
These recurring cases are prompting legal and societal debates around fairness and protection for all genders.
A programmer from Agra, Manav Sharma, reportedly committed suicide four days before Nishant’s death in Mumbai.
He left a video message blaming his wife for the emotional consequences. His sister discovered the clip saved on his phone on February 24—the same day he was found hanging.
The video was recorded on February 25 and showed Manav putting a noose around his neck. The aim of the video was to call attention to the need for legal protections for men.
In December, a techie named Atul Subhash from Bengaluru died by suicide. He also blamed his wife and in-laws.
His case added weight to the growing demand for gender-neutral laws to protect men from false accusations.
Such laws could prevent emotional and legal harassment leading to extreme actions.
In another incident, a 40-year-old café owner in Delhi died by suicide. He claimed his wife and in-laws mentally harassed him and made unreasonable demands.
He believed they were responsible for the emotional pain he suffered.
The tragic case of Nishant Tripathi is a stark reminder of the emotional and psychological toll relationships can take. It also highlights the urgent need for gender-neutral laws that consider the mental health and well-being of all individuals—regardless of gender.
As families mourn and society reflects, there’s an undeniable call to revisit the frameworks that govern domestic disputes and mental health interventions.
