Mumbai Filmmaker's Suicide Prompts Investigation Into Alleged Abuse by Wife and Aunt

Nishant Tripathi, 41, left a suicide note blaming his wife and her aunt for his death, leading to police filing an abetment case.

Nishant Tripathi, a 41-year-old filmmaker, was found dead in a hotel room in Mumbai on February 28, with a suicide note uploaded to his company's website.
The note expressed love for his wife, Apoorva Parikh, but also accused her and her aunt, Prarthana Mishra, of contributing to his decision to end his life.
Tripathi's mother, Neelam Chaturvedi, a prominent women's rights activist, has filed a police complaint leading to an FIR for abetment to suicide against Parikh and Mishra.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding Tripathi’s death, but no arrests have been made as of yet.
The case has reignited discussions about the need for gender-neutral laws to address allegations of abuse in marital disputes.
