Mahesh informed: “Nitin Desai’s ND studio comes in my constituency, the financial crisis was going on for many days and due to that, he committed suicide in ND studio this morning.”

On the other hand, the superintendent of police of Raigad, Somanath Gharge revealed that the authorities are looking into the matter and investigating it from every angle.

“We are investigating from all angles”, he said.

According to India Today, Nitin committed suicide at 4:30am on Friday. The sources confirmed spotting a police van entering his ND studios.
