A private school operator allegedly jumped from the 23rd floor of a residential building with his two-year-old daughter in his arms here on Monday, killing both, police said. Police said Rahul Vijayran (35), from Delhi's Nangloi area, lived in Tower 9 of the residential society, but he jumped from another tower, which makes the case suspicious.
According to Vijayran's family members, he had lost his sight in one eye after contracting coronavirus during the COVID-19 pandemic and was distressed due to this.
The incident took place at a housing society in Sector 102 around 7.30 am.
On Monday morning, while Neetu Dahiya was cooking at home, her husband Vijayran took their daughter Vamika to play in the society park. He later went to the 23rd floor of Tower 5 and allegedly jumped with his child, police said.
Upon hearing commotion, when Neetu went out, she found a man and a girl lying on the ground in a pool of blood. Residents took the two to a private hospital, where doctors declared them dead.
Vijayaran's brother, Amit, told police that his brother got married in 2014.
The couple also has an 11-year-old daughter who studies in Dehradun and lives in a hostel there.
Amit also told the police that his brother had been living in the society for the past two months, and he runs a school in Delhi's Kirari.
"My brother's eyes were damaged when he contracted coronavirus, causing him to lose vision in one eye and have limited vision in the other. He was deeply distressed because of this, pushing him to eventually take this step", he added.
Sub Inspector Jagmal Singh said that the family has refused to take any action.
"The cause behind the suicide is yet to be ascertained, and no suicide note was found. We are investigating why he jumped from another tower. Further probe is underway", the officer said.
