Madhya Pradesh influencer Nidhi Tiwari, 30, who amassed 16 lakh followers across Facebook and Instagram, was found hanging at her Bhusa Mod residence on Saturday afternoon. The 30‑year‑old, who won the title of Miss Pretty India in 2024, had been active in modelling and acting, posting videos that drew millions of views.
Family members reported that Tiwari was on a phone call with a friend in the evening when the body was discovered. She was taken to a local hospital, where doctors pronounced her dead as a suicide.
Police at Morwa station, led by officer Dr Gyanendra Singh, are interviewing relatives, friends and anyone who interacted with her in the days before her death. Call logs, text messages and social‑media activity are being examined as part of the inquiry.
The news sparked an outpouring of grief online. Followers who once praised her beauty and confidence have posted tributes, while mental‑health advocates have urged the government to expand support services. The Vandrevala Foundation and TISS iCall have issued helpline numbers for those in crisis.
Tiwari's death adds to the growing concern over mental‑health pressures faced by digital creators. Authorities have pledged a thorough investigation before drawing conclusions, and the case is expected to be reviewed by the state police by early next week.
