A 24-year-old youth slit his wrists and jumped to death from the 10th floor of an SRA building in Malad east after allegedly stabbing his teenage girlfriend in the stomach on Monday. The Kurar Police have registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and are investigating the matter. Meanwhile, the girl was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of a civic hospital and is in a critical state.
According to sources, Mangesh Rane (24), a housekeeping employee and a resident of Kurar, was in a relationship with an 18-year-old, Prachi Thakkar. The teen, a standard 12 student of SNDT college, stayed with her mother at a Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) building at Kurar village. Thakkar's mother knew about the relationship between her daughter and Rane but allegedly did not approve.
Sources said since Prachi was a teen and there was a six-year age difference between the couple, that did not go down well with her mother. However, even after she turned down the marriage proposal, Rane kept coming to her residence and wreaked havoc claiming that he cannot survive without her.
On Monday, Thakkar's mother left for work at 10 am and the girl was alone in the house. Around 12.15 pm, Rane came home and the couple got ensued in a heated argument.
Police said, minutes after the argument, Rane allegedly stabbed Thakkar in the stomach multiple times and then slashed his wrists. Soon after, Rane jumped off the 10th-floor balcony.
Residents alerted police about the incident, after which the latter rushed to the spot. "The door was locked from inside and we had to break the door open. When we entered the house, Prachi was lying in a pool of blood on the bed, while the balcony was filled with blood, suspected to be that of Rane after he slashed his wrists. Rane allegedly jumped off the balcony with the knife, but we found a second knife lying beside Thakkar," said an inspector of Kurar police station.
Police are yet to ascertain whether Rane had stabbed her or the young couple had decided on a suicide pact.
