“I talked to my mother, aunt 15 minutes before she died”: the pilot’s uncle

What’s the story?

The 25-year-old’s family Aviation India pilot Srishti Tuli, who was found dead in her rented house in Bombayfrom Marol area, accused her boyfriend Aditya Pandit of molestation and manipulation.

Her uncle Vivek Tuli said she was chatting happily with her mother and aunt just 15 minutes before she was found dead.

“The police say she died by suicide… What did he do to push her over the edge? What did he tell her? What did he do?” Tuli said NDTV.

The boy has been arrested and is threatening suicide

Pandit was arrested on charges of abetting suicide.

According to police reports, he claimed that Tuli called him threatening to take her life while he was driving into town Faridabad.

He returned to Mumbai and found the door to her apartment locked. With the help of another female pilot and a key cutter, he opened the door and found Tuli hanging by a data cable.

She was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The family accuses the boy of molestation and manipulation

Tuli met Pandit during a commercial flying course in Delhi two years ago.

Although she completed her course and moved to Mumbai last year after getting her pilot’s license, Pandit dropped out and stayed in Faridabad.

The family claims that Pandit publicly humiliated Tuli and extorted money from her.

As evidence, they cited a transaction of ₹65,000 from Tuli’s account to Pandit’s family around Diwali.

The family suspects foul play in the pilot’s death

The family also claims that Pandit pressured Tuli to stop eating non-vegetarian food and had an argument over personal matters.

“They say she died by suicide, but I don’t believe it. It’s a planned murder,” said Vivek Tuli.

He also alleged that another pilot was involved in the incident and helped open the door to the apartment without involving the police.

The police have registered an FIR on the family’s complaint and investigation is ongoing.
