A Deaf student in Nashik died by suicide, leaving behind a heartbreaking message, as police investigate the cause of her death and urge awareness about mental health support.
A tragic suicide shocked Nashik city in Maharashtra on 18 January 2026, when a 21-year-old Deaf woman was found dead at her home in the Dhruv Nagar area near Gangapur Road.
The deceased, Diksha Tribhuvan, lived with her parents and brother. She was a student at an institute for the Deaf in Nashik and was known among teachers and classmates as a quiet, calm, and friendly girl. Her family described her as hardworking and full of hope for the future.
On the evening of 18 January, around 6 pm, Diksha’s family found her hanging from a ceiling fan inside the house. She was rushed to a nearby government hospital, but doctors declared her dead on arrival.
During the post-mortem examination, officials found a short emotional message written on her palm. It read, “Sorry… I love you Mom and Dad.” This final message deeply saddened her family and those who knew her.
The Gangapur Police have registered the case as an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and started an investigation. Police are speaking with her family members, teachers, friends, and others to understand what may have led to her death. So far, no official reason has been confirmed.
Unofficially, two disturbing videos said to be recorded by Diksha before her death are circulating within the Deaf community. In these videos, she reportedly says that neither her parents nor her friends should be blamed and that she was suffering from deep emotional pain and depression. She also expresses love for her family and apologises for taking this step.
Police have not officially confirmed these videos. Authorities have appealed to the public not to spread unverified content and to respect the family’s privacy.
If you or someone you know is struggling with emotional distress or suicidal thoughts, it is important to seek help from family, friends, or mental health professionals. Early support can save lives.
