Geethanjali, a 27-year-old IT professional, fell to her death on Wednesday from the 10th floor of her office building in Cessna Business Park in Bengaluru. According to the Marathahalli police, it seems likely that she had planned her suicide, in accordance with what they found in the search history from her phone.
According to The News Minute, the police found that she had been looking up ways to commit suicide.
Geethanjali, an engineer employed in Adva Optical Networking located in the Business Park in Kadubeesanahalli, fell from the building at around 11:30 am.
The reasons for this possible suicide are still unknown, though there is a chance that it may have something to do with her recent engagement. Geethanjali had gotten engaged in Goa on Tuesday, which incidentally happened to be her birthday as well.
According to reports, she had applied for two days of leave and returned to Bengaluru on Wednesday morning at 8:30 am. Instead of going home, she had boarded a bus to office. She had even called up her aunt at 12:05 pm to inform her that she had reached office.
However, when the police later approached her colleagues about her whereabouts on the day, they said she hadn’t come into office that day.
The reason the police are linking her suicide to the engagement is because they had unearthed pictures of the engagement from her phone and subsequent text messages to her colleagues about it.
Abdul Ahad, deputy commissioner of police (Whitefield division), said she did commit suicide and there was no foul play.
Umesh, a security guard stationed outside the office building, was the first to see Geethanjali fall.
Ganesh, the facility manager of Cessna Business Park, said that he had then arranged for Geethanjali to be taken to hospital by ambulance. He said:
Upon arriving at Sakra Hospital, Ganesh informed the Marathahalli Police who took the body for an autopsy.
The police have registered a case of unnatural death, and hope to obtain a clearer picture once Geethanjali’s family members have been interviewed.
"Once the family members arrive, we will be able to get more details regarding her death," the Marathahalli Inspector added.
