Nishant Tripathi, a 41-year-old senior executive from Mumbai, was found hanging in his hotel room at the Sahara Hotel in Vile Parle East on February 28, 2025. Nishant had checked into the hotel three days prior and left a haunting digital suicide note on his company’s website, which his mother and sister later discovered. Nishant’s note, addressed to his wife, expressed his enduring love for her but also blamed her and her aunt, Prarthana Mishra, for pushing him to this extreme step. Now, his grieving mother, Neelam Chaturvedi, a women’s rights activist, has spoken out, demanding justice for her son while expressing the unbearable loss she feels.
Nishant Tripathi’s mother demands justice amid grief
Days after losing her son to an alleged case of harassment-driven suicide, Nishant’s mother, Neelam Chaturvedi, has vowed to fight for justice. She has questioned the delay in arrests despite the FIR against his wife, Apoorva Parekh, and aunt, Prarthana Mishra. In an interview with TOI, Neelam revealed that Nishant and Apoorva were in the middle of divorce proceedings, but alleged that the latter ‘used to blackmail him’. She further alleged that her son’s suicide was a murder. In Neelam’s words:
“He created the link on the company’s webpage. My son checked into the hotel three days before he ended his life. We have lost our world. I seek justice for my son’s death, which is a murder.”
