About The Case…
According to police, Vaishnavi allegedly died by suicide at her residence in January this year. Initially, an accidental death report (ADR) was registered. However, during the investigation, police found evidence suggesting that ongoing harassment linked to a relationship dispute may have driven her to take the extreme step.
Police said Vaishnavi had been in a relationship with Saurabh since 2022. She reportedly suspected that he was also involved in a relationship with Kajal Tiwari, which frequently led to arguments and mental distress.

Based on a complaint filed by the victim’s family, Lonikand police registered a case against both accused for abetment of suicide. Officials said the investigation revealed that the harassment faced by the girl allegedly pushed her into depression before she died by suicide.
In a related development, Kajal Tiwari allegedly jumped from the third floor of a building and suffered fractures in both legs. Police said the incident took place during the course of the dispute, though further details are being verified.
The police later tracked down and arrested Saurabh Jagtap from Beed district. Further investigation in the case is being carried out by Assistant Police Inspector Vijaya Vanjari.
