New Delhi – A handwritten diary entry penned by the 38-year-old daughter-in-law of a prominent pan masala tycoon has come to light, shedding light on personal turmoil in the lead-up to her apparent suicide at the family residence in southwest Delhi’s upscale Vasant Vihar neighborhood.
The woman, identified as the wife of the son of Kamla Pasand Pan Masala’s owner, was discovered unresponsive in the dressing area of her bedroom on Tuesday morning. Her husband, returning from a gym session, found her and rushed her to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared her dead on arrival, according to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Amit Goel.
Recovered from her bedroom, the diary contains a poignant note referencing “relationship issues,” as revealed by a senior police officer involved in the probe, speaking anonymously. The entry, however, stops short of naming individuals or assigning blame, with the officer emphasizing that the deceased “did not blame anyone.” Investigators are scrutinizing additional pages for further context, while an autopsy has confirmed the cause of death, and the body has been released to the family.
The tragedy has ignited sharp accusations from the woman’s brother in Kolkata, who claims she endured relentless “harassment” and “torture” at the hands of her husband and in-laws. “Her husband used to harass her,” he stated, alleging he had recently uncovered the man’s extramarital marriage. The brother recounted bringing his sister back to Kolkata amid escalating tensions, only for the in-laws to persuade her return with assurances of reconciliation. “They promised to take care of her, but they tortured her. We have been facing these issues since last year,” he added, insisting the family relented due to vows to “fix things.” He further accused the husband and mother-in-law of ongoing mistreatment.

The allegations have been firmly rejected by the businessman’s attorney, Rajender Singh, who dismissed them as “baseless.” “Her mother has been with us since yesterday. Both families are grieving, and everyone wants her to be cremated with dignity,” Singh said, noting the absence of any suicide note or prior complaint targeting anyone. The couple shared the home with their two young children, who had departed for school shortly before the incident.
No formal FIR has been filed, but authorities have launched proceedings under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), mandating inquiries into suspicious or unnatural deaths. As the investigation unfolds, the case underscores the hidden fractures within affluent households, leaving a grieving family to navigate both loss and lingering discord.
