In a heartbreaking turn of events, Drishti Prajapati, a 23-year-old physiotherapy graduate, was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a hospital room in Ahmedabad. The young woman, who had been living with her family in Meghaninagar for the past year, and was working at Shreeji Wellness in Naranpura area. She was discovered strangled by a dupatta tied to a ceiling fan.

According to police officials, Drishti had been struggling with depression following the collapse of her engagement with Rajinikanth Prajapati, the son of Bharatbhai Nenaji Prajapati from Shahibaug. Drishti's family claims that the breakdown of the engagement was triggered by the discovery of Rajinikanth's alleged affair with another woman, which Drishti had confided to her family about several months ago.

In a tragic note found at the scene, Drishti reportedly revealed that she had been coerced into maintaining a physical relationship with Rajinikanth against her will. The note allegedly described incidents of emotional and physical abuse, which intensified after their engagement in April 2024. Drishti’s mother claims that Rajinikanth threatened to end the engagement if she refused his advances, leading to what they described as mental and physical torture.

On the morning of her death, Drishti had left her home around 7 am, citing a visit to a patient at a hospital in Shahibaug after which she left for her hospital in Naranpura. Her family was alarmed when she stopped responding to messages, and soon after, they received a call informing them of her condition. Upon arriving at the Naranpura hospital, they discovered her lifeless body and immediately called the police.

The Gujarat University police started an investigation, and a case was filed against Rajinikanth based on the claims made in Drishti’s suicide note. Authorities are looking into the allegations of sexual coercion and emotional abuse, as well as the circumstances surrounding her tragic death.

Bharti, Drishti’s mother, has expressed her deep anguish and is seeking justice for her daughter. "We will not rest until we find the truth behind my daughter’s death," she stated. "She was forced into a relationship and left broken-hearted. We believe her death was the result of the abuse she endured."

H M Kansagra, ACP B division stated, "The police have assured the family that all aspects of the case will be thoroughly investigated. As of now, we have arrested the accused Rajinikanth in the matter and further investigation is on."
