Disputes with her husband, second marriage and allegations recorded in the diary have made the case mysterious. The family accused him of instigation, the police is investigating from many angles.
New Delhi. On Tuesday evening, a news came out in Vasant Vihar area of Delhi which shocked the entire business world and social media. Deepti Chaurasia (40), daughter-in-law of Kamal Kishore Chaurasia, owner of famous pan masala brands like Kamla Pasand and Rajshree, was found hanging in her house. The police have initially called it a suicide, but the facts emerging do not allow this incident to be ordinary. Deepti’s husband Harpreet Chaurasia was the first to see her hanging from the fan and immediately took her to the hospital, where doctors declared her dead. After this the police searched the house and recovered a diary. This diary has given a new direction to this case.
Do the words written in the diary reveal the real cause of death?
In her diary, Deepti has mentioned about her ongoing disputes with her husband. He has written that “If there is no love and trust in a relationship, then what is the reason to live and maintain the relationship.” This is a sentence that indicates a broken relationship, mental stress and long-running problems. Police say that Deepti and Harpreet lived in separate houses and there were frequent fights between them.
Was the husband’s second marriage the biggest reason for this dispute?
According to sources, Harpreet has married for the second time to an actress of South Indian films. This thing was giving a lot of trouble to Deepti. Her family members say that this dispute had escalated so much that Deepti started feeling mentally disturbed. The family has given a statement to the police that Deepti was instigated to commit suicide. Now the police is seriously investigating this angle also.
Was it just domestic tension or something else?
Police suspect that the matter is not limited to just the dispute between husband and wife.
Because-
- Deepti and Harpreet have two children
- Both were living separately for a long time
- The second marriage was fully established in Harpreet’s life.
- The pressure and loneliness on Deepti was increasing
Many times, domestic tension, social pressure and complexities in relationships force a person to take such steps.
Were such family feuds hidden behind a company worth billions like Kamala Pasand?
The journey of Kamla Pasand Pan Masala, which started from a small kiosk in Kanpur, has today reached a turnover of billions. But the family disputes hidden behind big companies often do not come out.
The company has been involved in controversies before–was there any indirect impact?
Kamala Pasand has been surrounded by many big controversies for a long time-
- Surrogate advertising case of 2021
- GST and tax evasion investigation
- Raid on fake gutkha factories
- Gutkha and betel nut banned in many states
Although these controversies are not directly related to this case, it is clear that both the company and the family have been under constant pressure.
What is the truth after all? Which angles are the police working on?
Police is looking at this case from 3 angles-
- suicide
- Domestic violence and mental harassment
- Accused of inciting suicide
- Diary, phone records, chats, CCTV and family statements will decide the direction of this case.
