Daughter-in-law of pan masala baron dies by suicide at Delhi home, note mentions marital discord

Police said it was the husband who discovered the body around 12.30 pm on Tuesday and made the PCR call.

He was at the gym when his mother told him his wife was not picking up her calls. “The husband got home, went up to the second floor and entered the bedroom, where he found his wife… They were both living together in the house,” a police officer investigating the case said.

The woman was taken to the Safdarjung hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival.

“A diary and some notes recovered from her room mention marital discords between the two,” the officer said. Another investigator claimed that the notes mentioned terms like “no love and trust” and that she doesn’t blame anyone.

Police said that apart from seven to eight domestic help, no one else was at home when the incident happened.

The couple got married in 2010, the officer said, and have a 14-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter.

“A team of doctors will carry out the post-mortem today. Inquest proceedings have been initiated but no formal complaint has been received from the woman’s family. The statement of all her family members would be recorded. Further inquiry is underway,” a police officer said.
