April 15, 2012

Noida, April 15: Two people in their twenties, including a Delhi resident, allegedly committed suicide in the city on Saturday. While 23-year-old Shakeeb Hassan, an MSc in biotechnology who stayed at the IIT-Delhi campus, jumped off the platform railing at Sector 16 Metro station, Nidhi Chopra (29), a resident of Amritsar, ended her life by jumping off the terrace of a guesthouse in Sector 50. Both were victims of depression, said police sources. The bodies have been sent for autopsy.

Shakeeb, who used to work with a biotech firm in Sector 63 as a sales engineer, had bought a ticket to travel from Sector 16 Metro station to Chandni Chowk around 12pm. He was last seen at the platform talking on his cellphone. Suddenly, he climbed up the railing and jumped onto the road, said witnesses. "When our guards alerted us to the incident we found that Shabeek was gravely injured. We rushed him to Kailash Hospital," said an official of DMRC.

"On Saturday morning around 10am, Shakeeb had gone to consult a psychiatrist at Holy Family Hospital with his elder brother Dr Nabi Hassan - a librarian at IIT-Delhi. After the consultation, Shakeeb told his brother that he was going to work but did not reach his office," said a police official.

Around 12.30pm, DMRC officials informed Shakeeb's colleague and his brother about the incident. Dr Hassan reached the hospital at 1pm. "I had left him just a few hours earlier," said Dr Hassan explaining that his brother was suffering from depression since the last few months and was on medication. "I am shocked that he has taken his own life," he said.

In the second case, 29-year-old Nidhi Chopra allegedly jumped off the second floor terrace of a guesthouse in Sector 50.

"The incident occurred around 6am on Saturday morning," said a cop. "Nidhi, accompanied by her in-laws and her one-month-old baby, had come to attend the wedding of her husband's cousin," said a police official. After attending the ring ceremony on Friday night, the family members went to sleep. The next morning, Nidhi's mother-in-law, Sudha Chopra, woke up to find that her daughter-in-law was missing. She alerted her husband, Ashwinin, who found her sitting on the railing of the terrace. He told telling her to return, but instead Nidhi decided to jump. She was rushed to NMC hospital in Sector 30 but was declared brought dead, said cops.

"Nidhi's father-in-law told us that she was suffering from depression. We have recorded the statement of family members," said a cop.

New Delhi, Feb 10: A 44-year-old man allegedly killed his daughter and son before ending his life by jumping in front of a Delhi metro train at Haiderpur Badli Mor station on Sunday, police said.

No suicide note has been recovered, but police claimed that the man, Madhur Malani, was depressed since his sandpaper-manufacturing factory was closed some six months ago due to financial crunch leaving him jobless. Madhur's parents had been supporting his family financially since then.

He used to stay with his wife Rupali, daughter Samiksha (14) and six-year-old son Shraiyans at a rented house in northwest Delhi's Shalimar Bagh area, they said.

Rupali was not at home when Madhur strangled their children. He might have also smothered their daughter but the exact cause of death would be ascertained only after the post-mortem reports arrive, a police official said.

After killing his two children, he jumped in front of an approaching train at Haiderpur Badli Mor Metro station following which he was rushed to a hospital where doctors declared him 'brought dead', the official said.

Metro services on the Yellow Line were briefly delayed due to the incident.

"Delay in services from Samaypur Badli to GTB Nagar due to a passenger on track at Haiderpur Badli Mor," the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) tweeted.

After about 15 minutes, it again tweeted that normal services have been restored. The Delhi Metro's Yellow Line connects Samaypur Badli in Delhi to HUDA City Centre in Gurgaon.

The suicide was reported to the police around 5.40 pm while the Shalimar Bagh Police station received a call about the killings around 6.50 pm.

On reaching the house, police found bodies of the children lying in beds in two rooms. During enquiry, it was learnt that their father has left the house, a senior police officer said.

While police were trying to trace Madhur, they learnt about a suicide at the metro station. On verifying the details, it surfaced that Madhur committed suicide after killing his children, the officer said.

Rupali told police that she had gone to a nearby market around 3 pm and on returning home she found the bodies of her children while her husband was missing.

A case under relevant sections of the IPC has been registered and investigation was underway, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northwest) Vijayanta Arya said.
