New Delhi: A 24-year-old postgraduate student took her life by suicide at her residence in Mumbai due to mental harassment by her boyfriend. She wrote a six-page suicide note before dying. She was a postgraduate in dentistry. The victim is identified as Stuti Sonwane, and the suicide note was found in her room.
Stuti was in a relationship, and her boyfriend usually made hurtful remarks about her character and suspected her of cheating. She referred to Delhi’s Shraddha Walkar murder case, in which the woman was murdered by her boyfriend, Aaftab Poonawalla. Later, the body parts of the woman were recovered from Aaftab’s refrigerator.
She also wrote that her friends knew about his toxic boyfriend, and they often joke, “You will be found in a fridge one day.”
Stuti lived with her parents and sister. She didn’t get out of her room till about 11 am yesterday. After calling out several times, with no response, her parents broke down the door of her room, and she was found hanging from the ceiling.
Stuti’s parents rushed her to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared her dead on arrival. Police also arrived at the scene and registered a case. With the recording statement of Stuti’s family members, the cops began the investigation into her boyfriend.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) R. Ragasudha stated, “We have registered a case of Accidental Death (ADR), and further investigation into the matter is underway.”
Police are analysing Stuti’s phone records and social media activities to know about the events leading up to the suicide.
