Bollywood dancer Abhijeet Shinde commits suicide
New Delhi : Abhijeet Shinde, a popular dancer in Bollywood, who had worked with biggies like Ranbir Kapoor and Ajay Devgn, was found dead at his Bhandup residence in Mumbai on Thursday morning.
According to a report in a leading daily, the 32-year-old dancer ended his life after his long battle with depression.
The report further suggests that the dancer was disturbed as his wife, who left him three months ago, did not let him meet their daughter. He had been depressed ever since his wife left him.
"Shinde's wife had been living at her mother's place since the past three months. She was not allowing Shinde to meet their two-year-old daughter, which upset him badly. He had been depressed over the past few days," a police officer told the daily.
Shinde is suspected to have hanged himself from the ceiling fan at his home around 6.30 am on Thursday (August 23).
The police have found a suicide note in which the deceased has mentioned that he wants his bank money to be transferred on the name of his daughter.
"We registered an accidental death report and handed over the body to the deceased's family members after conducting a postmortem," added the officer.

Karnataka HC quashes FIR against three men accused of 'preaching Islam' near temple premises
Bengaluru, Jul 25 (PTI): The Karnataka High Court has quashed a First Information Report (FIR) filed against three Muslim men who were accused of "preaching Islam" and distributing religious pamphlets near a Hindu temple in Jamkhandi, Bagalkot district.
The complaint had alleged that the men attempted religious conversion by making promises of employment and passed derogatory remarks about Hinduism.
However, the High Court held that there was no substantial evidence of coercion, fraud, or inducement--criteria necessary for prosecution under the Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Act, 2022.
The court made it clear that mere expression or distribution of religious literature does not amount to an offence unless accompanied by forceful or deceitful attempts to convert.
"The essence of a free society lies in the freedom to express, discuss, and propagate beliefs," the bench observed.
It further stated that peaceful preaching, in the absence of coercion or allurement, is protected under Article 25 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to freely profess and propagate one's religion.
Additionally, the bench noted that the complainant in the case was neither the alleged victim nor a relative of one. As per Section 4 of the 2022 Act, only an aggrieved individual or their close relatives are permitted to lodge such complaints--making the FIR procedurally invalid.
