Pune: The 38-year-old private insurance firm manager, suspected to have murdered his wife and son, died because of drowning.
The Sassoon general hospital in its advance post-mortem report certified it as the cause of the manager’s death. He was missing since the bodies of his wife and seven-year-old son were found on Tuesday. His body was fished out from a waterbody at Khanapur near Khadakwasla dam on Friday.
The police were searching for the man after the double murder came to light on the evening of June 15 (Tuesday). The bodies of the woman and her son were found 35km apart at Khalad village near Veer dam in Saswad and at Jambhulwadi, off Katraj-Dehu Road bypass, respectively.
Deputy commissioner of police (Zone II) Sagar Patil told TOI on Saturday, “The victim’s family members have told the police that there was a domestic dispute between the manager and his wife over some issues. The insurance manager, after killing his wife and son, went into depression and ended his life by jumping into the waterbody. No suicide note was found. The Sassoon hospital has confirmed in its post-mortem report that the victim had died due to drowning.”
Senior inspector Jagganath Kalaskar from the Bharati Vidyapeeth police said, “The victim had used a sharp weapon for inflicting self-injuries before ending his life. The police, with the help of the PMRDA’s (Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority) fire brigade personnel and residents of the area, conducted searches in the waterbody for recovering the sharp weapon, but in vain.”
Kalaskar said, “The victim’s neighbours and people known to them have given information to the police that the deceased couple were in the habit of quarrelling/fighting with each other over trivial issues. We shall submit a detailed report related to the incident before a magisterial court.”
