According to the police, Tripathi checked into a hotel last week and had a 'Do Not Disturb' sign outside his room. Only on Friday did the hotel staff check on him after failing to get any responses from inside the room.
Upon opening the door, they found him dead by hanging and informed the police.
Suicide note posted on company website
In the suicide note that he uploaded on his company's website, he said his wife and aunt were responsible for his death.
"By the time you read this, I'll be gone. In my last moments, I could've hated you for everything that happened. But I don't. For this moment, I choose love. I loved you then. I love you now. And as I had promised, it's not going to fade," he said.
"My mother knows among all the other struggles I faced, you and Prarthana Mausi are also responsible for my death. So I beg you, don't approach her now. She's broken enough. Let her grieve in peace," the note added.
