MUMBAI, December 4: Thirty four-year-old Jaideep Garware, son of noted industrialist Chandrakant Garware, committed suicide by injecting himself with poison at his Warden Road residence in south Mumbai this evening.Gamdevi police said that Jaideep was alone in his ninth floor apartment in Somerset Building at Warden Road when he committed suicide. He used to stay there with his wife Ramona. According to friends, the couple had separated about two weeks ago. Senior police inspector D C Wilson, told Express Newsline that Jaideep's body was found on the bed. There were visible signs of strain on his face and froth oozed from his mouth. He has left a suicide note but the police refused to divulge the contents of the letter. The body has been sent to JJ Hospital and a post-mortem report is awaited which will reveal the actual time and cause of death.Jaideep's death came to light around 4 pm when his mother Anita with her younger son Nihal rushed to Jaideep's Warden Road residence. According to thepolice, Jaideep's mother was alarmed because no one was answering his telephone. Anita Garware who is on several heritage societies has taken ill and was barely able to record her statement with the police. There was a hush around the building where Jaideep stayed as relatives brought down his body from the steps due to a malfunctioning in the lift.After a stint in a US university Jaideep returned to family business and firmed up plans to open a chain of departmental stores which failed to take off. Later, he focussed his energies on paint business apart from taking active ineterst in other ventures ranging from polyester to shipping.Married to Ramona Garware, daughter of the Narangs who own the Ambassador Hotel, Jaideep was a regular on Mumbai's party circuit. In the last few months Jaideep who was heavily into body-building steroids during his university days in the US and had since kicked the habit, had become a passionate champion of the anti-drugs campaign. "I can't belive this. Jaideep wassuch a nice guy and it is hard to believe that he threw away his life at this stage,'' said a close business friend, on condition of anonymity. ``Though he was passing through a period of crisis-personal and professional, nobody expected him to do such a thing,'' the friend added.The Garware group was single-handedly built up patriarch BD Garware from his humble beginnings as a film financier. He invested the money from films into plastics in the early sixties. A decade later the group diversified into into polyester, nylon wall ropes and a slew of other areas. In the 80s BD Garware's four sons, Sashikant, Chandrakant, Ashok and Ramesh Garware, took over the reins of the company with each assuming responsibilities in different companies. However in the nineties the group's fortunes started nose-diving and by 1993, the group companies were in the red with debts jumping to astronomical levels.The arrival of a new generation at the helm, spearheaded by Jaideep, failed to stem this tide.
