A producer of Ishqbaaz, a popular television show, committed suicide by jumping off the 16th floor of his building in Malwani, Malad.
Earlier, reports that Sanjay Bairagi had lost his balance and fell off the building, but the police confirmed a suicide after they recovered a note, Mid Day reported.
The report added that Bairagi had returned home after playing Holi at 4.30 pm on Friday. He uploaded pictures of the celebrations, but two hours later jumped from the bedroom of his apartment.
In his suicide note, Bairagi has not held anyone responsible for his death. It reads, "It's my fault. My family is suffering and I have financial troubles. No one should be held responsible." Bairagi is survived by his wife and two kids.
Ishqbaaz's producer Gul Khan spoke to Spotboye.com and said, "Sanjay was an efficient worker and was controlling the entire production work. He wasn't directly reporting to me hence I wouldn't know the cause of death."
