Mumbai: A 52-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide by jumping off a building in Lokhandwala Market area in Oshiwara here on Sunday evening, some time after her daughter consumed a disinfectant and was rushed to a hospital, police said.
Senior Inspector Dayanand Bangar said Shashi Komal Sagar and her daughter, Priya, had a fight over a box of bangles and the latter consumed phenyl in front of her family members.
“When the family members returned after admitting Priya to a nearby hospital, they could not find Shashi in the house. They mounted a search and found her body on the ledge on the second floor. She seems to have jumped off the building. An accidental death case has been registered,” Bangar said.
