Thane: Debt-ridden jeweller in Mumbra dies by suicide; was missing for five days

The decomposed body of a 56-year-old jeweller was found in his shop in Mumbra on Sunday, five days after he died by suicide.

Bhawar Jain – the owner of Palak Jewellers – was facing some financial problems, the police said.

Senior police inspector Ashok Kadlag said he had not returned home for the last three days. His son would visit the shop and find it locked, but on Sunday he noticed a foul smell emanating from within, following which he broke open the door and found his father dead.
