A cryptic post by the mother of the teen who died by suicide by jumping from a 250-foot-deep cliff in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar has added a fresh dimension to the police probe into the tragedy.
His father then grabbed his hand to rescue him; however, both lost their footing and fell to their deaths. On Friday morning, he had a fight with his father over the EMIs before he went to the cliff. His parents, Murlidhar and Sangeeta, urged him for hours to step away. Within seconds, the heartbroken mother also jumped and died. What piqued the police’s interest in this probe angle was Sangeeta’s social media post, which pointed to a family dispute. Police are trying to find out what the post meant.
Multiple videos showed Kunal Chandgude, 19, standing on the edge of the cliff and threatening his parents that he would commit suicide.
Police said Kunal had bought an Apple iPhone but was unable to pay the instalments.
“You took away my and my son’s rights, all over property. You never allowed brothers and parents to be together. You ruined my happy family. You poisoned my family… You separated my son from his parents. Your next seven generations will suffer.
Sources, however, said that Kunal had attempted suicide a year ago at the same spot, and that there were tensions within the family in the wake of the couple’s elder son’s death. This is my curse,” she said in the post.
