Mumbai, Nov 29: A 25-year-old Air India pilot, Srishti Tuli, was found dead at her rented apartment in Andheri, Mumbai recently. Her family has accused her 27-year-old boyfriend, Aditya, of abetting her suicide.
According to police, Aditya had insulted Srishti for eating non-vegetarian food at an event, which allegedly led to emotional distress.
Srishti, who hailed from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, had reportedly been experiencing mental health issues and was facing abuse from Aditya.
Police said the couple had an argument during a gathering in Gurugram, where Aditya publicly humiliated her for consuming non-veg food. After the argument, Aditya left her there and returned home.
On Sunday evening, Srishti and Aditya fought again when he visited her apartment. He then left for Delhi around 1 amon Monday. Shortly after, Srishti called Aditya, saying she was contemplating suicide. Concerned, Aditya rushed back to her apartment, only to find the door locked and no response from Srishti.
Aditya managed to break open the door with the help of a keymaker and discovered Srishti unconscious. She was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead.
