PUNE: A 28-year-old software engineer on Tuesday afternoon ended his life jumping from the terrace of a 12-storeyed residential building in Wakad.
Senior inspector Vivek Mugalikar of the Wakad police said the reason why the engineer, Prasoon Kumar Jha, committed suicide was unknown. “We did not find any suicide note,” he said. Mugalikar said Jha worked with a prominent information and technology company in Hinjewadi. His marriage was fixed with an IT engineer, with whom he had a live-in relationship. “They stayed on the sixth floor of the building, from which Jha jumped off,” he said.
He said Jha and his live-in partner were working from home following the lockdown. Around 1.30pm on Tuesday, he went to the watchman of the society and took the key of the terrace under the pretext of checking his internet connection.
“Jha then went to the top floor of the building and jumped down. The security guard alerted the police,” Mugalikar said.
“We have alerted Jha’s parents in Bihar and his close relatives in Pune,” Mugalikar said.
