Radiotherapist jumps off 15th floor, dies

A Radiotherapist died by jumping from the fifteenth floor of SRS Pearl Society, Sector 87, in Greater Faridabad yesterday. The uncle of the deceased has accused his in-laws of harassment. An FIR has been registered against five people including the wife of the deceased at Bhupani police station.

According to the police, the deceased is identified as Yogesh Kumar, a native of Vivekanand colony, Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh. He used to work as a radiotherapist at a private hospital in Gurugram. He got married to Neha Rawat nine years ago and the couple had lived in Noida earlier where Neha was doing a private job. The couple has a six-year-old child. Six months ago, Yogesh moved to Sector 87. On Friday night, died by jumping from the 15th floor of the society and was died on spot.

According to the complaint filed by Prakash Singh, uncle of the deceased that because both husband and wife were employed, the child could not be cared for. Yogesh wanted to keep his mother with him, but Neha was not ready for this. Six months ago, Yogesh moved into Sector 87's Pearl Society with his child. However, Neha did not join Yogesh. During this time, Yogesh called his mother to look after the child.

“About a month ago, Neha suddenly moved into the Pearl Society in Greater Faridabad to live with Yogesh. Upon arriving, Neha began to object to living with Yogesh’s mother. Neha’s brothers Ashish Rawat and Amit Rawat also came to Greater Faridabad and started fighting with Yogesh and due to this he was upset. On Thursday, Yogesh took Neha to his home in Gwalior and while on his way back from Gwalior, Yogesh dropped Neha off in Noida and returned to Greater Faridabad. Frustrated, he jumped from the 15th floor of the society on Friday night and died on the spot,” the complainant stated.

“A case has been registered against the deceased's wife, mother-in-law Shanti Rawat, father-in-law Veer Singh Rawat, and Neha’s brothers Ashish and Amit Rawat. We are conducting raids to nab the accused,” inspector Sangram Dahiya, SHO of Bhupani police station, said.
