Kolkata News

Kolkata: A 24-year-old man, an MBA from a top institute whose family runs a successful electrical equipment business at Chandni Chowk, allegedly jumped to death on Monday while other occupants of the 11-storey building were getting ready to play Holi. The incident was reported from the Woodburn Park area in south Kolkata. The youth — Sidhant Sikhani — reportedly jumped from the top floor around 11.15am. Cops said he was taken to SSKM Hospital where he was declared dead.
According to police, the family said that Shikani had been under acute depression for the past two years. “His mother passed away two years ago and he slowly stopped talking before going into depression. He was under a lot of medication and the family had hoped he would come out of it,” said an officer. The police said they have initiated inquest proceedings and are awaiting the post-mortem report.
