Wife of actor Navin Nischol commits suicide

MUMBAI: Actor Navin Nischol's second wife Geetanjali committed suicide by hanging herself in her flat at Mahim in Mumbai late on Saturday. Forty-five-year-old Geetanjali left a suicide note holding her husband Nischol responsible for her action.
Geetanjali was found hanging from the ceiling fan in the living room of her third-floor apartment at Laxman Nivas, a building where several Marathi actors reside. Her body was sent to JJ hospital for post-mortem.
Though the police were tightlipped about the suicide note, it is learnt that she had alleged that Nischol was responsible.
"Navin, an alcoholic, is useless and is torturing me and that is why I am ending my life," said the suicide note neatly written in English on a piece of paper found in her bedroom. Nischol was not available for comment.

Police sub-inspector A Mulani said,"We received information that a lady had committed suicide and we rushed to Laxman Nivas to find Geetanjali hanging from the ceiling fan."
Due to the differences between the couple, Nischol used to stay in Pune and rarely visited her. Geetanjali, who was childless, stayed in this flat with two servants.
The servants told cops that they saw Geetanjali at night when she told them she was going to sleep. They did not know when she committed suicide.

Nischol, who was in Pune, arrived in Mumbai early on Sunday morning after getting the information. "Based on Geetanjali's allegations we had called in Navin and questioned him," said Jeo Gaikwad, senior inspector, Mahim police station.
In February, Geetanjali had told The Times of India that Nischol's younger brother Praveen had thrown her and her out-of-work husband out of their Mahim house.
