While Shantaram Kashinath Shedge was lying on the floor his son Vivek was found hanging from the ceiling fan. Both were dead for hours, according to a senior officer. Vivek had left a suicide note in Marathi in which he noted the time of death to be 4.30 pm.

Vivek had written in the note that since his father hadkilled his mother he has no right to live. After the death of both his parents, he was killing himself. While the mother8217;s death was reportedly natural, Vivek all along suspected that his father had arranged8217; for her death.

About Vivek the family8217;s relatives and neighbours said that he remained suicidal ever since he failed to win the affection of a girl. He was in love with a girl living in the vicinity though she never reciprocated his feelings. When finally she got engaged a man of her choice last week, Vivek slipped into depression and became suicidal. He tried to commit suicide by consuming Calmpose tablets but survived.

Even on Monday afternoon, he tried to commit suicide after closing his room from inside but his relatives intervened in the nick of time and were able to dissuade him from ending his life. However, in the evening when he and his father were alone, he took the extreme step of killing his father and then himself.
