TV actor’s wife kills self in Kandivali
Neelima hanged herself when her husband and daughter were not at home.
Mumbai: Television actor Manoj Goyal’s wife, Neelima Goyal (40), allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan at her residence in Kandivali’s (east) Lokhandwala area on Saturday at around at 3.15 pm.
The police, which has registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) in the case, said she left a suicide note in which she mentioned that no one should be held responsible for her act.
Neelima hanged herself when her husband and daughter were not at home. She was depressed for past few weeks, according to the police.
According to the police, Neelima is the wife of actor Manoj who has starred in SAB TV channel comedies like Golmaal Hai Bhai Sab Golmaal Hai and Tu Mere Agal Bagal Hai.
The official also said that during the preliminary investigation, it was revealed that Neelima, who was a housewife, was depressed since the past few weeks and was staying aloof.
Dilip Yadav, a senior police inspector of Samata Nagar police station said, “Prima facie it is a suicide as we have also found a suicide note at the spot, but the investigation is underway. The incident took place on Saturday, but an ADR was registered early on Sunday.”
The official also said that it was mentioned in the note that she took the extreme step because she was depressed.
The incident came to light when her eight-year-old daughter returned from tuitions and found the door locked from inside.
As no one was responding to her repeated calls, the minor opened the door with spare keys and found the bedroom door locked from inside. The girl alerted her neighbours who then called the police.
Neelima Goyal’s body was sent for post-mortem on Saturday, and no foul play was found.
“The deceased’s husband said she was depressed for the last few days. The suicide note also said she is taking the extreme step because she is depressed,” said the police officer.
The Samata Nagar police station on Sunday registered a suicide case.
The police has initiated an inquiry and will record statements of Neelima’s family memer. As of now, the Samata Nagar police has not found anything suspicious.
