Wife’s death, man’s suicide attempt still a mystery: police
The accidental death of a 40-year-old woman due to burn injuries at the servant quarters of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) at around 10.30 pm on Monday and the subsequent suicide attempt by her husband have baffled the city police.
The woman, Surekha Walmiki, had allegedly set herself on fire and succumbed to 90% burn injuries, while her husband, Suresh (45), who attempted suicide by jumping off the second floor of the servant quarters, is undergoing treatment at the Sassoon General Hospital.
Even as the reason for the woman’s suicide and her husband’s act remains a mystery, a case for attempted suicide was registered against him by the Deccan Gymkhana police station on Tuesday.
A police team and firemen had brought the fire under control and rescued the duo on Monday.
The couple was residing at the FTII servant quarters on the Law College Road.
Deccan Gymkhana police station incharge and senior inspector, Manohar Joshi told DNA, “Surekha had suffered burn injuries from the waist up and was declared brought death on arrival, while her husband sustained multiple fractures. There is a likelihood that a heated argument between the couple led to the incidents. We have filed a case of accidental death for the deceased and a case of attempt to suicide against Suresh.”
The police official said that the motive is unclear and the chemicals due to which the deceased have suffered burn injuries is yet to be identified, as the viscera has been preserved to get further details.

Man elopes after siphoning off Rs1.34 crore
A case has been filed against an employee of a cash transporting company for allegedly siphoning off Rs1.34 crore meant for filling the automated teller machines (ATM) in Sangli.
Salim Hamdi Sheikh (35) of Warnali Colony, who works as a cash officer at Securitrans India Private Limited, is at large.
The company’s regional manager Balkrishna Misal filed a case on Monday with the Vishrambaug police station in Sangli.
The company has a contract to fill cash at the ATMs of Bank of India and Axis Bank at various locations in Sangli district and Shiekh was appointed its cash officer in 2008. Nihal Mulla and Khwaja Tambat were his assistants.
Their job was to collect cash from the banks and filling it in the ATMs.
A few days ago, the banks had informed the company that there’s a difference between the cash deposited and the actual cash given. Mulla and Tambat also substantiated the claim and told the company that Sheikh has been doing something wrong with the cash.
The company then conducted an inquiry and found out that Rs1.34 crore has not been deposited at the ATMs.
“Initially, the company tried to settle the issue by recovering the amount from Sheikh but in vain. Now, a case has been filed by the company,” superintendent of police Ravindra Shisve told DNA.
Deputy superintendent of police Kavita Nerkar is probing the case.
