Advocate from Delhi Falls to Death After Allegedly Jumping From a Fourth-Story Building
Phagun Kalra, a resident of southeast Delhi's Lajpat Nagar and an advocate by profession, is believed to have taken his own life on a fateful day. The incident occurred at a four-storey building in the area.
According to reports, a Police Control Room (PCR) call was received around 1:20 PM stating that someone had fallen from a terrace in Lajpat Nagar. Upon arrival, a crime team and forensic experts inspected the scene, where they found the victim, Phagun Kalra, lying in a pool of blood on the road.
The body of Phagun Kalra was shifted to the AIIMS Trauma Centre for post-mortem examination. Preliminary investigations suggest that the primary reason for his death may be depression. A suicide note was recovered from his pocket, and his wife has prima facie identified the handwriting in the note.
Phagun Kalra was a married man. The suicide note is currently under investigation to confirm the reasons leading to this tragic incident.
