Maharashtra: Man dies by suicide, mother jumps into well

The incident took place at Kandre Bhure village under Kelwa police station. The police said that Shailesh, who used to work in a mall, did not leave a suicide note. “He hanged himself from a tree in a farm. When his mother Kalpana saw this, she jumped into a well,” said an officer, adding that the two are survived by Kalpana’s husband and a daughter.

“Their family did not inform the police or the hospital and completed the last rites. Further, the local police patil, a villager chosen by the police to help in policing, had no idea about the incident either,” the officer added. The police have registered a case of accidental death.

“We have initiated an inquiry to find out the reason behind the suicides and why the family did not inform police before going ahead with the last rites,” the
officer said.
