Nitin Desai Suicide Case Update: What The Postmortem Report Says

Fadnavis, who holds the home department, said the investigation will also ascertain if there was any attempt by the firm to pressurise Desai or forcefully take over his studio.

“Desai was under debt and kept his studio on a mortgage. The Edelweiss ARC (Asset Re) angle will also be incorporated in the ongoing probe in the suicide case,” Fadnavis told the state assembly. He added: “We will see if deliberate attempts were made by (Edelweiss) ARC to take over his studio or if he was pressured by any means. We will also investigate if an improper rate of interest was levied on the loan taken by him”.

Fadnavis said the government will also look into the options to preserve ND Studio in Desai’s memory.
