A 40-year-old man named Rajveer died after allegedly jumping from the 13th floor of a residential building in Ghaziabad on Thursday. The incident took a more serious turn when police, upon entering his apartment, discovered the body of his 70-year-old mother, Satnam Kaur, lying on a bed inside the flat.
According to officials, police received an emergency call from Mahagunpuram Society reporting that a man had fallen from a high-rise. When they arrived at the scene, Rajveer was found critically injured and was immediately taken to a nearby private hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
Rajveer had been living in the flat with his mother. During a subsequent inspection of the apartment, police found Satnam Kaur’s body, which appeared to be around two days old. Authorities noted that there were no visible external injury marks on her body.
Initial findings suggest that Rajveer had been living separately from his wife and child, who reside in another housing society, Gaur City-2. Although he used to visit them regularly, he had not done so in the past two days. His wife reached the hospital after being informed about the incident.
Police also revealed that Rajveer was previously involved in astrology but had been unemployed for some time after not achieving success in the field. More recently, he had been working on recording podcasts.
The case has raised several unanswered questions, particularly regarding the sequence of events—whether the mother’s death occurred before Rajveer’s suicide and the circumstances surrounding both incidents.
Both bodies have been sent for postmortem examination, and further investigation is underway. Assistant Commissioner of Police (Kavi Nagar), Suryabali Maurya, confirmed that police responded promptly to the emergency call, recovered both bodies, and have initiated legal proceedings to determine the exact cause and timeline of the deaths.
