PUNE: Pained
by the death of his pet dog, a depressed 22-year old management student hailing
from Chhattisgarh committed
suicide here, police officials said.
The incident happened around
8.30 p.m on Monday night when the deceased, Kanwar Harshavardhan Raghav jumped
out of the sixth floor flat of a relative in Thakkar Enclave, Rakshanagar area
of Hadapsar.
He landed on the solid
concrete ground and bled profusely as locals rushed him to a nearby hospital
where he was declared dead shortly afterwards.
Hailing from a family of army
officers, a suicide note in a diary was recovered from the flat in which he
mentioned the loss of his pet dog Siska eight months ago and his deep agony
after that.
Raghav was living in Pune since
the past couple of years and was a first year management student at the
Symbiosis Group of colleges.
Senior Inspector Vishnu Pawar
said that in his suicide note, Raghav asked his parents' forgiveness for his
extreme step and said nobody should be held responsible for his death.
He mentioned how he was
deeply anguished after his dog died some eight months ago, how he was unable to
bear the separation from his pet and hence decided to end his own life.
Raghav's body was handed over
to his distraught family members on Tuesday and his last rites were performed
later in the evening.
