Surat: Suffering from mental health issues, a 24-year-old teacher living in Nana Varachha ended her life on Tuesday afternoon by jumping off the terrace of a 14-storey building in Mota Varachha.
Police said that Jalpa Mudatiya, who lived in Jalaram Society in Nana Varachha with her father, wrote her final message to her brother living in South Africa and jumped off Princess House building around 3 pm. In her message to her brother, Mudatiya wrote that she did not have any problem with anyone, but as she was tired of mental depression, she was taking the extreme step.
“She did not live in the building from where she jumped, but we suspect that she had planned to end her life, so she reached here while searching for a high-rise building,” said a police official. Cops said that after leaving from her workplace in Nana Varachha around 12.30 pm, Mudatiya was seen in CCTV camera footage entering the building at 12.57 pm. She stayed on the terrace of the building for two hours.
