The daughter-in-law of the pan masala tycoon Kamal Kishor Chaurasia — owner of popular brands such as Kamla Pasand and Rajshree Pan Masala — was found dead in her South Delhi residence on Tuesday, in an apparent suicide.
The victim, identified as Deepti Chaurasia, aged 40, was discovered hanging at the family’s home in the upscale neighbourhood of Vasant Vihar. Police reportedly found a suicide note and a diary in her room, which hinted at persistent marital discord.
Deepti was married to Kamal Kishor Chaurasia’s son Harpreet Chaurasia (also referred in some reports as Arpit) in 2010. The couple has a 14-year-old son.
According to statements from her brother, the marriage had been troubled. He alleged that Deepti faced physical abuse and that her husband had extramarital affairs. The brother claimed that after discovering the alleged abuse, the family tried to take Deepti back, but she was reportedly brought back to the marital home by her in-laws.
Investigators have registered a case at the Vasant Vihar police station and sent the body for post-mortem to Safdarjung Hospital. The police say they are probing all angles — whether the death was indeed suicide or if foul play cannot be ruled out.
This tragic incident has sent shockwaves across the city and among business and media circles, reigniting conversations around domestic abuse, mental health, and the pressures faced by women in high-profile families.
⚠️ Note: Suicide is a serious matter. If you or anyone you know is struggling with mental health issues, please seek help.
