Mohali death was suicide

The woman, who had fallen from the 11th floor of Purab Apartments in Mohali last night, had actually jumped off to commit suicide. This was stated by Inspector Manphul Singh, SHO of the Sohana police station, here today.

The victim, identified as Simrat Kaur, had succumbed to her injuries while undergoing treatment at a hospital last night. Manphul said Simrat had jumped off from the 11th floor last night.

“She was living with her husband in a rented accommodation at Purab Apartments. The exact reason behind the suicide is yet to be ascertained,” said Manphul, while ruling out any foul play.
