‘Jhowtala woman was depressed’

  • | Sunday | 23rd April, 2017

Her in-laws suggested she was depressed but the reason is yet to be established. Another could be the family's poor financial condition or the fact that she did not give birth to a boy. But, unless we talk to her parents who are expected to come to Kolkata and decide on lodging a complaint, these are only guesses, said a police officer. "Though it seems like a suicide, we are not ruling out anything. One of the them could be living away from her home in Delhi.

KOLKATA: A day after Preeti Jaju (33), a mother of two girls aged three and six, allegedly killed herself by jumping off the terrace of the four-storey building they lived in on Jhowtala Road behind Quest Mall at Park Circus, the police remain uncertain of the reason behind her death."Though it seems like a suicide, we are not ruling out anything. Her in-laws suggested she was depressed but the reason is yet to be established. One of the them could be living away from her home in Delhi. Another could be the family's poor financial condition or the fact that she did not give birth to a boy. But, unless we talk to her parents who are expected to come to Kolkata and decide on lodging a complaint, these are only guesses, said a police officer. It is unlikely a murder as the timing of the incident and presence of people in the area would have been too big a risk for the accused, felt detective department sleuths. tnn
