On Saturday, September 26, 30-year-old influencer Nidhi Tiwari was found hanging in an upstairs room of her home in Bhusa Mod, Singrauli district, Madhya Pradesh. Family members rescued her, rushed her to a hospital, and doctors declared her dead on arrival. Police opened a case to investigate the circumstances.
Background & Context
Nidhi Tiwari, a resident of the Vindhya region, rose to prominence after winning the Miss Pretty India title in 2024 and pursued modelling, event work, and digital content creation.
Data & Statistics

Official Statements & Responses
Morwa police station in-charge Dr Gyanendra Singh said investigators are gathering information from the family and acquaintances and that the exact reason for the suicide will be known after the investigation.
Superintendent of Police Shiyaz KM noted the family named a youth living in another state as one of the last people Nidhi spoke to, and police are verifying the claim.
Family members, including mother Hemlata Tiwari, reported Nidhi was on a phone call shortly before she locked herself in the room and asked her mother to leave her alone.
On-the-Ground Reports
Hemlata Tiwari alleged the man, identified as Sonu Singh, an engineer with an outsourcing firm serving Northern Coalfields Limited, was married with two children and maintained constant contact with Nidhi through a Bluetooth earpiece. She said Nidhi performed a puja downstairs, went upstairs, received a call from Sonu, and locked the door before the family found her.
