AHMEDABAD: A Navrangpura resident jumped into Narmada canal and ended his life allegedly after five men, who were occupying his shops, refused to vacate them and threatened to kill him if he insisted on it.
The deceased was identified as Sanjay Sharma, who ran a hardware shop in Rakhial and owned an industrial shed with eight shops in it. His wife Sunita Sharma, a resident of Elegance Society in Navrangpura, filed a complaint in this regard with the police on Thursday.

She told police that her husband had left the house on August 11 without informing anyone. When he went incommunicado, the family began enquiring about him and found a note in his account book.
In the note, he had written that Rakhial residents Ramesh Shah, Sandip Shah, Amit Patel along with Odhav residents Babu Chawla, Bharat Chawla and Dariapur resident Faizan Shaikh had been constantly harassing him.
Citing the suicide note, Sunita told police, “Sanjay’s father had given the shops to the five accused on rent. However, they refused to vacate the place when Sanjay asked them to leave. They also threatened to kill my husband if he ever pressured them to vacate the shops.”
On August 12, Sharma’s younger brother Chandrakant received a call from Kathlal police, who informed him that Sanjay had jumped into Narmada canal near Antroili village in Kapadwanj taluka of Kheda district. His car and cellphone were found near the canal. Later, the cops recovered his body from the canal and sent it for post-mortem.
Based on her complaint, Navrangpura police filed a complaint of abetment to suicide against the five men.
