NAVI MUMBAI: A 38-year old woman strangled her daughters, aged eight and one-and-a-half years, before killing herself, sending shockwaves among residents of the posh Adhiraj Gardens Complex in Kharghar, Sector 5. Marital disputes apparently drove the woman to take the step.
Samidha Vahal was found hanging from the ceiling fan inside her fourth-floor flat, while the bodies of the two girls, Tanvi and Geet, were discovered in the bedroom late on Friday. According to the police, the bodies had been locked inside the flat for nearly two days.
After residents of Magnolia building, where the Vahals stayed, complained of foul smell emanating from the flat, the police arrived on the spot and forced open the main entrance to discover the bodies . Inside the apartment, the police found a four-page suicide note, written in Hindi, in which Samidha stated that she was having problems with her husband, Prashant Vahal, a deputy general manager in a tyremanufacturing company.
The police told reporters that a few days ago, Prashant had gone to Chennai on work and Samidha was alone at home with the two children; it was during that time, that she decided to take the drastic step. So far, the Kharghar police have registered a case of accidental death, but subinspector Ashok Satpute told TOI that they were questioning the victim's close family members to know more about the reason behind Samidha's action.
"Originally from Delhi, the suicide victim, (Samidha), had recently started staying in Kharghar with her husband and two daughters in the rented flat. We are all shocked," said a housing society member of Adhiraj Gardens complex.
Following post-mortems on the three, the family conducted their last rites at a crematorium in Turbhe on Saturday.
