The police suspect that he committed suicide as he was unable to bear the pain of his illness and was suffering from depression. The incident took place on Sunday afternoon when he left his room after taking medicine for his illness and went straight to the terrace and jumped from the spot.

After reaching the scene, DSP Patmada Sumit Kumar told The Avenue Mall "The report of suicide has not been received and we are investigating the matter. At the same time, some family members also informed that he may have gone to the balcony and somehow slipped and fell from the railing. However, we conclude the case as a suicide matter. People have taken the body in possession and sent it for post-mortem."
