He
Refused
To
Take
The
Dead
Fan's
Gift
Sanjay
Dutt
wrote
a
letter
to
the
Bank
of
Baroda
at
Walkeshwar,
saying
contents
of
a
safety
deposit
vault
bequeathed
to
him
by
Malabar
Hill
resident
Nishi
Harishchandra
Tripathi
be
handed
over
to
her
family
members.
He
Had
No
Idea
About
This
Fan
Interestingly,
Dutt
had
no
idea
who
Tripathi
was,
till
a
phone
call
from
the
police
on
January
29
informed
him
that
she
had
died
a
fortnight
earlier
and
had
willed
the
money
from
her
account
and
her
bank
locker
to
him.
Nishi
Was
A
Huge
Fan
Of
Sanjay
Dutt
The
police
have
concluded
that
Tripathi,
who
passed
away
aged
62,
was
a
big
fan
of
Dutt.
Just
how
big
a
fan
she
was
of
the
actor
came
as
a
shock
to
her
family
members,
when
they
discovered
scores
of
letters
issued
by
Tripathi
to
her
bank,
willing
all
she
had
to
the
actor.
Dutt
Believes
Her
Property
Should
Go
To
Her
Family
The
bank
locker
has
still
remained
unopened
as
legal
formalities
were
on,
even
as
Dutt,
through
his
attorney
Subhash
Jadhav
made
it
clear
that
he
didn't
want
to
have
anything
to
do
with
Tripathi's
money
or
property,
and
that
it
should
go
to
her
family.
The
Fan's
Will
Tripathi,
who
died
on
January
15
after
battling
a
terminal
illness,
was
a
homemaker
residing
with
her
80-year-old
mother
Shanti,
and
siblings
Arun,
Ashish
and
Madhu.
The
family
resides
at
Triveni
Apartments
at
Malabar
Hill,
where
a
3-BHK
flat
measuring
around
2,500
sq
ft
costs
upwards
of
Rs
10
crore.
Tripathi's
family
realized
she
had
willed
all
her
belongings
to
Dutt
only
a
day
after
her
prayer
meeting
at
Bharatiya
Vidya
Bhavan,
Girgaum
Chowpatty
when
the
family's
legal
advisor
informed
them
about
the
development.
You
Won't
Believe
This!
Subsequently,
a
representative
of
the
Bank
of
Baroda's
Walkeshwar
branch
shared
with
Dutt's
attorney
and
Tripathi's
family
members
a
detailed
letter
and
nomination
form
that
she
had
submitted
to
the
bank
a
few
months
before
her
death.
The
bank
said
the
nominee
mentioned
was
"Film
star
Sanjay
Dutt"
and
the
nominee's
address
was
that
of
Dutt's
Pali
Hill
home.
It
has
also
come
to
light
that
several
valuables
were
also
willed
to
Dutt
via
letters
to
the
bank.
Sanjay
Dutt
Is
Shocked
Sanjay
Dutt
shares,
"As
actors,
we
are
used
to
fans
naming
their
children
after
us,
chasing
us
down
the
street
and
even
giving
us
gifts.
But
this
has
shocked
me.
I
will
not
be
claiming
anything.
I
did
not
know
Nishi
and
I
am
very
overwhelmed
by
the
entire
incident
to
speak
about
it".
