Sandeep Nahar death: Police register abetment to suicide case against late actor’s wife and mother-in-law

The police have registered an abetment to suicide case against the wife and mother-in-law of late actor Sandeep Nahar. He was found dead on Monday night.

The Goregaon police have registered a case under Section 306 (abetment to suicide) against the wife and mother-in-law of late actor Sandeep Nahar, on the basis of a complaint filed by his father, reports ANI. Sandeep was found dead at his residence in Mumbai’s Goregaon on Monday night.

Sandeep Nahar allegedly died by suicide on February 15.

Hours before his death, Sandeep shared a ‘suicide note’ on Facebook, along with a video. In the clip, he spoke about his professional and personal issues, including his marital problems. He named his wife and mother-in-law.

"I would've died by suicide a long time ago but I chose to give myself the time and hope that things would get better, but they didn't. I now have nowhere to go. I don't know what awaits me after I take this step, but I've been through hell in this life. I have only one request, after I am gone, please don't say anything to Kanchan (his wife) but do get her treated," he said in the video, according to PTI.

Sandeep, who starred in films such as MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Kesari and Khandaani Shafakhana, also mentioned the ‘politics’ he faced in Bollywood.

Akshay Kumar, who worked with Sandeep in Kesari, wrote in a tweet that he was heartbroken to hear the news of his death: “Heartbreaking to know about #SandeepNahar’s passing away. A smiling young man passionate for food as I remember him from Kesari. Life’s unpredictable. Please seek help if ever feeling low. Peace for his soul.”

Sandeep’s MS Dhoni: The Untold Story co-star Anupam Kher remembered him as a ‘happy-go-lucky guy’. “I met him on the sets of that film only. I had about two-three scenes with him. He had more scenes with other actors in the film but he was undoubtedly a good actor,” he told The Times of India.
