Software Engineer Jumps To Death From 4th Floor Of Hotel In Indore

Indore, Madhya Pradesh - A 46-year-old software engineer, Rajkumar Yadav, allegedly took his own life by jumping from the fourth floor of Trivana Hotel in the Nipania area late Wednesday night. Yadav, along with his wife and eight-year-old daughter, had been staying at the hotel for about one-and-a-half months. The room number 401, where the overdue bill exceeded Rs 70,000, was where his body was discovered by hotel staff around 2 am on Wednesday. The couple had left for Kolkata earlier that night, leaving him alone.

CCTV footage showed Yadav walking towards the rooftop around 1 am, but he never returned. The hotel's CCTV didn't cover the rooftop or the rear portion of the building where his body was found. Mounting dues and financial troubles were identified as the primary reasons for his tragic decision. Yadav had been accumulating substantial hotel dues, which escalated as he attempted to pay Rs 25,000 to the hotel account. However, the issue reoccurred, further exacerbating his financial struggles.

When his wife and daughter left the hotel hours before his death, the family explained that she would send money once she reached Kolkata. The room appeared well-organized when police entered the scene. Yadav's wife revealed that he was expecting money from the sale of a plot to settle the hotel's outstanding bill. The police are now investigating the property transaction and the anticipated payment.

Yadav, a former software engineer, had left his job and planned to start his own business, hoping to fund it through the plot sale. The family had previously stayed at the same hotel, and Yadav met his current partner, Sarvari Begum, in 2007. He married another woman in 2010 with his family's consent, but their relationship ended after the family opposed his relationship with Sarvari.

Yadav's brother is a sub-inspector in Dhar. The police are meticulously examining every aspect of the case to unravel the circumstances leading to his death.
