Reportedly, the 38 year old shot himself in the head with a pistol, in a vehicle, bearing the registration number HP 51 2089 near Sector 2, new Shimla. Before committing suicide, Nitin wrote two notes stating reasons behind him taking such a drastic step. The letters were retrieved from his car as well as his home. In both the letters, he has blamed his wife and in-laws for driving him to kill himself.
It is believed that Chauhan was going through a tumultuous marital life. Even in his letters, Zinta’s cousin has blamed his wife and in-laws for treating him badly.
