Actress Resham Tipnis CONDEMNS Unfounded Reports Regarding Son Manav's Alleged Suicide in Mumbai's Kandivali: 'Individual Responsible for This Will Face Legal Consequences'
In a series of events that have caused widespread confusion, actress Resham Tipnis has denied rumors about her 14-year-old son Manav's suicide. The false reports, which claimed that Manav had jumped from a high-rise building in Mumbai's Kandivali area following an argument over attending tuition, have been strongly condemned by Tipnis herself.
The distressing misinformation followed a tragic suicide of an unrelated Class 9 student in the same area. The student had an argument with his mother over attending tuition before taking his life. Unfortunately, some social media users mistakenly identified the deceased as Resham's son, causing further upset for the Tipnis family.
Tipnis took a firm stance against the dissemination of false information, using her platform to both reassure the public and make it clear that legal action is intended to be pursued against those spreading the rumors. She posted a message on her Instagram account, stating, "Please ignore this somebody is spreading fake news about my son Manav. He is fine and healthy by Bappa's blessings."
The incident involving the misidentification of Manav was initiated by the Instagram page Laughing Colours. In response, Tipnis has urged her followers to mass report the account to Instagram. She also expressed her intention to find the person responsible for spreading the fake news and threatened legal action, saying, "whoever has done this is going behind bars."
Meanwhile, the student's death is currently under investigation, with no foul play suspected. An accidental death report has been registered, and the exact floor from which he jumped off is yet to be ascertained.
