“After dinner, Thakur went to sleep in another flat owned by his daughter. There, he shot himself with a licenced gun,” he said.

Thakur was rushed to NMMC hospital in Vashi but declared dead. His body was delivered to his family after postmortem were conducted in the hospital.

Inspector Galande said, “It’s a case of suicide. Thakur was alone in that flat when the incident took place. The door was locked from inside. We have not recovered any suicide note.”
