Since his death, Salman’s family’s suspicions have consistently been focused on his wife Samira, an allegation she has always denied. Last year, Samira spoke openly about her ex-husband’s death in a video interview, saying, “Those who commit suicide don’t announce it… It is suicide.”

In response to Neela Chowdhury’s accusations, Samira said, “When a child commits suicide in a home, do the parents get taken into remand? Then why me?” Presenting her side, she claimed that Salman was “suicidal by nature.”

In Samira’s words, “He had tried to take his own life three times before — twice there are records at Metropolitan Hospital, and another time at a different hospital. All three incidents occurred before our marriage. Once after a quarrel with his mother, once over marrying me, and once for personal reasons.”
