Mumbai: ‘Disturbed’ banker jumps to her death from 3rd floor flat in Fort

MUMBAI: A 40-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide by jumping from her third floor residence in the Fort area on Thursday morning.
The deceased was a spinster, who lived with her 90-year-old mother. She used to work for a financial and banking services firm which has its office in Parel.
The police said that they had received a call in the morning about an injured woman lying in the locality and dispatched a police team to the spot.An officer said that the woman was taken to hospital where she was declared dead. A case of accidental death has been filed at MRA Marg police, station.
Deputy commissioner of police Sangramsinh Nishandaar said that according to the preliminary information they have received, the woman had left her home around 4am and returned around 5am.
“After that, she did not step out of the house. The incident took place within an hour after she returned-—between 5am and 6am,” said Nishandaar.
A couple of days before her death, she had similarly stepped out of home early in the morning and subsequently returned home, the police said.
The police said that the woman had had a petty domestic tiff with a neighbour a couple of days ago. She had left some food plates outside her room and had not picked them up for a couple of days, said an oficer. “This caused some problem to the neighbour and he had asked her to remove the plates,” said the police officer.
He said the deceased had also faced a crisis with a personal relationship. “We are also verifying this information,” he said.
The cause of death in the post-mortem report states there was evidence of contusion under the scalp with multiple injuries.
