Mumbai: A Jet Airways employee allegedly committed suicide at his Nalasopara residence on Friday afternoon. The Tulinj police have initiated inquiries into the incident.
The police said Shailesh Kumar Singh was a senior technician with the ground support department of the airline and was suffering from cancer for the last three years.
“Mr. Singh was being treated at a local hospital and was brought back home around 6 a.m. on Friday. He was complaining of severe pain in the stomach at that time and around 1.30 p.m., he was found to have killed himself,” an officer with the Palghar police said.
The officer added that Mr. Singh was rushed to the Alliance Hospital in Nalasopara where he was declared dead before admission.
The Tulinj police were subsequently informed and a team was sent to make inquiries with his family. The police also visited the Sai Pooja Apartment in Oswal Nagari, where Mr. Singh used to stay, to make enquiries with neighbours.
“No suicide note has been found so far. We have registered an accidental death report in connection with the incident,” Inspector Daniel Ben from Tulinj police station said.
Mr. Singh is survived by his wife, two sons and two daughters. One of his sons is also working in Jet Airways and the recent suspension of operations by the airline, coupled with his father’s long-standing illness, had put severe financial strain on the family, said a source close to the family.
