Authorities have discovered a diary in the prison cell of Vishal Gawli, the man accused of raping and murdering a minor girl in Kalyan, Maharashtra, in December 2024. The diary reportedly contains Gawli’s own reflections on his depression, with claims that he had no one to blame for his suicide, police officials revealed on Monday.

Vishal Gawli (35) was found dead in a toilet at the Taloja Central Jail in Navi Mumbai early on Sunday. Authorities initially reported that Gawli, who had been awaiting trial, appeared to have taken his own life. Following his death, officials located a diary in his prison cell. In the diary, Gawli purportedly expressed feelings of depression, writing that he was troubled by his wife, Sakshi – a co-accused in the case – who, according to him, had been avoiding him and no longer believed his side of the story.
