Mumbai, Mar 8: A Mumbai-based woman chartered accountant on Tuesday allegedly jumped to death from the 19th floor of a residential building along with her son and a daughter in suburban Malad, leaving a suicide note in which she said that nobody was responsible for the extreme step, police said.
The bodies of Nidhi Pawan Gupta (30), her son Gaurav (6) and daughter Mahika (3) were taken to nearby civic run Bhagwati hospital for post mortem, police said.
According to police, at around 8.30am, Gupta threw Gaurav first, then Mahika before she jumped from the 19th floor of the 21-storeyed Sahyadri housing complex in Govindnagar area.
"She was a chartered accountant and would also take lectures at a local college twice a week," Vinayak Kakade, senior inspector at Dindoshi police station said.
Nidhi Gupta stayed with her husband Pankaj, in-laws, brother-in-law and sister-in-law at a flat on the 9th floor of the building, police said adding the family members were at home when the incident occurred.
The victim took the two children from home saying that she was taking them to their schools, Kakade said.
"She took the elevator to go upto the 18th floor. Then, she took staircases to go to the next floor from where she threw her son first and then daughter. Later she herself plunged," Kakade added.
James Philip Ghondalvis, who maintains garden of the building, saw Gupta jumping from the floor, Kakade said adding, "James is the witness in the case. A suicide note was also left by the victim in which she mentioned nobody is responsible for this."
The shocked family members said they had no issues that could have driven her to end her life, the officer said.
"The family neither has any financial nor any other problems. The victim's husband Pawan is into readymade garment business. Nidhi's parents, who stay in Worli, also have no complaints against anybody. Our probe to ascertain the cause of her death is leading us to nowhere," the officer added.
Every day Nidhi would take Gaurav and Mahika to senior kindergarten and play school, police said adding today also she took the two out but to jump to death. Further probe is on. PTI
