Preity Zinta’s cousin Nitin Chauhan committed suicide by shooting himself on Friday morning, according to a report in Hindustan Times. Reportedly, he was going through marital trouble for quite some time.

The police found two suicide notes, one in Nitin’s car, where he shot himself, and the other at his residence. He had reportedly blamed his wife and in-laws for driving him to take this extreme step, ahead of the court hearing of their legal separation on the same day.

The report quotes a police officer as saying, “In both suicide notes, of four pages each, Chauhan blamed his wife and in-laws of harassing him,” adding that he accused them of filing false cases and not allowing him to meet his son.

A case has been registered against Nitin’s in-laws and the weapon has been sent for forensic examination.
