In June 2026, a 17-year-old girl from Parkside, Vikhroli West, Maharashtra, took her own life after allegedly experiencing mental and physical harassment from her matrimonial home in Surat. According to the police, the girl met Nihal Vairagi, a 20-year-old resident of Surat, through Instagram. They subsequently developed a relationship, and she allegedly left Mumbai with him without informing her family.
The girl stated that she performed a Vedic marriage at a temple in Surat, staying with him and his parents for a time. However, her family was uncertain about the legality of their marriage as no documents were provided. On September 4, the girl returned to her maternal home in Vikhroli after an incident in Surat, where she and Vairagi had spent the night on the occasion of Janmashtami.
On September 6, while alone at home on the night of September 4, she allegedly died by suicide. Her sister and relatives rushed her to Rajawadi Hospital in Ghatkopar, but doctors declared her dead before admission. The Parkside police filed an FIR against Vairagi and his parents for charges of abduction and abetting suicide. Further investigations are ongoing.
