'I Seek Justice For My Son's Death': Mumbai Executive's Mother Neelam Speaks Out After Son's Suicide

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.”

Nishant Tripathi left a note on his company website before committing suicide

Nishant Tripathi, who ended his life at Mumbai’s Sahara Hotel, had checked in three days before the tragedy. On February 28, 2025, hotel staff grew concerned after a “Do Not Disturb” sign remained untouched for an extended period. Upon entering with a master key, they discovered him hanging in the bathroom.

The suicide note that Nishant uploaded on his company’s website, contained an emotional farewell directed at his wife, Apoorva Parikh. He expressed his undying love for her, even though she was one of the reasons for his demise. He also urged his wife and aunt to stay away from his grieving mother. His last note read:

“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… My mother knows that among all the other struggles I faced, you and Prarthana Mausi are also responsible for my death. So, I beg you, don’t approach her now. She’s broken enough. Let her grieve in peace.”

Neelam Chaturvedi’s heart-wrenching post after son, Nishant’s death

Neelam, a women’s rights activist, dedicated her life to saving thousands of women and advocating gender neutrality, yet she couldn’t save her own child. In a heart-wrenching Facebook post, she called herself a ‘living corpse,’ expressing the unbearable pain of losing her child. She wrote:

“Today, I feel like a living corpse… My son, Nishant. He was my everything… My life is over now… I am now nothing more than a living corpse… He was supposed to perform my last rites, but today… I performed my son’s cremation.”

Meanwhile, legal experts suggest that Nishant’s case could set a precedent for how harassment within marriages is viewed under the law. More developments in the case are underway.
