After killing 10 yr old grandson, man jumps to his death
Pune, March 19 – A 65 year old man allegedly committed suicide by jumping from seventh floor of a housing society in Kondhwa on Saturday morning.
Before that he had allegedly killed his grandson by strangulating him.
The deceased persons have been identified as Sudhir Shah (65) and Jinay Shah (10), both residents of Shantinagar society in Kondhwa Budruk.
The incident came to light around 6.30 am. Deputy commissioner of police (Zone 4) Dr Sudhir Hiremath and senior police inspector Rajendra Mokashi, in-charge of Kondhwa police station, visited the spot.
According to police, after dinner Jinay slept with his grandfather, while his parents were sleeping in their bedroom. The grandfather strangulated Jinay and then jumped from the seventh floor resulting in his own death.
Police have recovered a suicide note wherein Sudhir has reportedly mentioned that he was fed up with a land case going on in their native place Shirur.
“He had a shop in Shirur and shifted to Pune about a year ago to stay with his son who is engaged in real estate business. In the suicide note Sudhir stated that he was fed up with the land case and was ending his life instead of staying here and there for few more years. Also his grandson had some heart problem and had undergone surgery few years back. He was very attached to his grandson. Therefore he was taking away Jinay with him,” Inspector Mokashi told Punekar News.
