NRI jumps to death

Ghaziabad, Dec 18, Agencies:

A non-resident Indian woman from the US on Sunday committed suicide by jumping off the 14th floor of an apartment block in Ghaziabad, police said.

Sunita Gupta, 55, who came to India 20 days ago, jumped off Kaushambi’s Malayagiri Tower in the afternoon.

“Prima facie it seems a case of depression,” said Kamlesh Bahadur, police circle officer III. She and her husband Bharat Prakash Gupta, a senior manager at the US aerospace major Boeing, had come to visit her mother and younger brother here.

The two married 10 years ago. Both had divorced their previous partners. On Sunday, Sunita climbed the 14th floor of the building and jumped to her death. Her 78-year-old mother was ill and her younger brother had been divorced recently, police said.
