Police said the deceased, originally from Mathura, was residing at his sister’s home in the Gaur City 2 high-rise in Greater Noida. He had stopped practising since 2023 after being diagnosed with some mental illness, said additional DCP (Central Noida) Savya Goel.

“On Monday around 12.30 pm, when his sister and other family members were inside the home, he went to the balcony and jumped to death,” Goel added.

“He was getting psychiatric treatment from a private hospital in Bengaluru. As family members were observing improvements in his health and he never attempted such an extreme step, they did not observe anything unusual in his behaviour,” the officer said.

Investigation found that after a three-year gap, he got a job in Nasik, Maharashtra, and was to join in October. After the post-mortem, his body was handed over to his family, and further probe is on, said police.
