Meanwhile, in another case from Palghar this month, a couple who were in a live-in relationship allegedly died by suicide after jumping from the fourth floor of a residential building in Nallasopara. The incident took place in the early hours in Nalasopara East's Hanuman Nagar. The deceased were identified as Deepak Jogadia (35) and Kanchan Solanki (35), who had been living together in Sai Mahima Building, Sai City Complex, for some time. Police said no suicide note was found at the spot, and the cause behind the extreme step remains unknown.
