Our mind and intelligence are the biggest gifts if used constructively. But, some people choose to misuse this gift to ruin the lives of other people. Mridu Arya is one such person who has used all her resources to destroy the lives of at least 10 people, including that of her own son. There might be more.
Mridu has had ample opportunities to reform through the years. Her ex-husband suggested marriage counseling on many occasions during their marriage to keep it alive for the sake of their son. All these suggestions were shot down by Mridu. Her friends tried to talk to her and urged her to get anger management classes. She ignored their sound advice. After the divorce was filed, each of her 5 attorneys tried to advise her to finish the divorce case quickly and to move on with her life. Instead of heeding their advice, she fired them. She then continued on her path of harassment and defamation to further her nefarious agenda, including the misuse of law enforcement, judiciary and other public institutions. For all her felony-worthy offenses, Mridu has herself managed to stay out of the clutches of law enforcement for too long now.
The goal of this website is to bring out into the open Mridu’s evil personality, and to caution people who might be associating with her or might associate with her in the future. Another goal of this website is to make people aware that it is sometimes very difficult to recognize intimate partner violence (IPV) [3]. If you are being victimized in a relationship, please contact institutions like CORA [4] to educate yourself about how you can keep yourself safe, both mentally and physically, and how to remedy the situation that you are in.

Psychopathy is a personality disorder manifested in people who use a mixture of charm, manipulation, intimidation, and occasionally violence to control others, in order to satisfy their own selfish needs. Although the concept of psychopathy has been known for centuries, Dr. Robert Hare led the modern research effort to develop a series of assessment tools, to evaluate the personality traits and behaviors attributable to psychopaths. Dr. Hare and his associates developed the Psychopathy Check List Revised (PCL-R) and its derivatives, which provide a clinical assessment of the degree of psychopathy an individual possesses. These instruments measure the distinct cluster of personality traits and socially-deviant behaviors of an individual, which fall into four factors: interpersonal, affective, lifestyle, and anti-social.
The interpersonal traits include glibness, superficial charm, a grandiose sense of self-worth, pathological lying, and the manipulation of others. The affective traits include a lack of remorse and/or guilt, shallow affect, a lack of empathy, and failure to accept responsibility. The lifestyle behaviors include stimulation-seeking behavior, impulsivity, irresponsibility, parasitic orientation, and a lack of realistic life goals. The anti-social behaviors include poor behavioral controls, early childhood behavior problems, juvenile delinquency, revocation of conditional release, and criminal versatility. The combination of these individual personality traits, interpersonal styles, and socially deviant lifestyles are the framework of psychopathy and can manifest themselves differently in individual psychopaths. Mridu exhibits most of the traits mentioned above.

Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that often occurs in abusive relationships. It is a covert type of emotional abuse in which the bully or abuser misleads the target, creating a false narrative and making them question their judgments and reality. Ultimately, the victim of gaslighting starts to feel unsure about their perceptions of the world and even wonder if they are losing their sanity.
Merriam-Webster defines gaslighting as the “psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one’s emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator.”
Gaslighting primarily occurs in romantic relationships, but it’s not uncommon in controlling friendships or among family members as well. People who gaslight others may have mental health disorders. They use this type of emotional abuse to exert power over others to manipulate friends, family members, or even co-workers.
