Unable to cope with losses in the bear run of stock markets, a man killed his pregnant wife and then committed suicide in Mumbai, police said tonight.
The bodies of Parag Tanna and his wife Neha (both 34), who was seven to eight months pregnant, were found at their apartment in Iraniwadi area of suburban Kandivali, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone XI) Makrand Ranade said.
“Parag was found hanging using a nylon rope while his wife was lying dead on the floor,” he said.
The police suspect that Parag first strangled his wife and then committed suicide.
“Parag was trading heavily in the stock market and had lost a lot of money recently, his friends and family have told us,” Ranade said.
Financial losses are suspected to be the reason for him taking the extreme step. No suicide note was found, police said.
