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.

Jaipur, Mar 18: Initially buried as per Islamic traditions, an unidentified man's body was exhumed and later cremated after he was found to be a Hindu in Rajasthan's Tonk district, police said.

The family members identified the body of Mahaveer Sahu on Tuesday, a day after the burial, as they stumbled upon photos of the deceased that had circulated on social media.

The man was brought to a government hospital by locals in an unconscious state on March 12 and he died on March 13, according to Purani Tonk police station SHO Shivlal.

The man was said to be a liquor addict and was found unconscious on the road, he added.

The body was kept at the mortuary for three days awaiting identification. Despite efforts to trace the next of kin, the identity could not be ascertained and members of Hindu and Muslim communities were brought in to take a decision, Shivlal said.

The community leaders presumed that he was a Muslim after examining the body and the burial took place as per Islamic funeral traditions on Monday, he added.

Meanwhile, Sahu's family members saw the photo of his body that had circulated on a WhatsAapp group and identified him later that day. They rushed to the hospital and then to the police station in the night where they were informed that the body had been buried.

“The body was exhumed with permission from the sub-divisional magistrate on Tuesday and handed over to the family members after proper identification. Members of the Muslim community led by an Imam were also present and gave in writing that they have no objection,” Shivlal said.

The body was later cremated by his family members.
