Youth dies after jumping from second floor of shopping complex in Kanpur

According to a report by Aaj Tak, a shocking incident has come to light in Kanpur city of Uttar Pradesh, where a youth who had arrived to meet his girlfriend at a shopping complex in the Sarvodaya Nagar area jumped from the building and died by suicide. The youth, who was critically injured in the accident, was immediately rushed to the hospital, but doctors could not save him, and he died during treatment. This incident caused a massive stir among the people present in the complex and the surrounding area.

According to the information received, the deceased youth has been identified as 35-year-old Sikandar, the son of Riyaz Ali, a resident of the Chaman Ganj area. Sikandar had returned to his hometown from Saudi Arabia about a year ago. His two other brothers still live and work in Saudi Arabia. Sikandar had known a young woman who worked at a hospital near Geeta Nagar for the past several years, and the two were in a romantic relationship.

According to information provided by Sikandar's friend Raja, even while Sikandar was living abroad, he was in constant contact with the woman over the phone. However, for some time now, there had been a distance in their relationship, and bitterness had increased. The woman had reduced talking to him significantly, due to which Sikandar remained in constant mental distress and was troubled.

On the day of the incident, Tuesday, Sikandar had called the woman to meet at a shopping complex located in Sarvodaya Nagar, Kanpur. He was not alone at the time; his cousin Shibu and his friend Asif had also reached there with him. The friend has also claimed that before the woman arrived, Sikandar had consumed some intoxicating pills, due to which his behavior and speech did not seem normal at the time of the incident.

When the woman arrived at the shopping complex, after a brief meeting and conversation, an argument broke out between the two regarding the ongoing issues and disputes. During the conversation, the woman decided to leave and started walking away. Seeing this, Sikandar tried to stop her and requested her to talk with love one last time. When she did not stop despite his pleas and continued to leave, Sikandar ran to the second floor of the complex.

After reaching the second floor, he handed over his mobile phone and watch to the woman. Around that time, his friend Raja received a call on his phone and was busy talking. As the woman was heading down, Sikandar suddenly jumped from near the food court on the second floor of the complex. He was critically injured upon hitting the ground.

After the youth fell, the woman screamed and raised an alarm. Hearing the noise, his friends and other people present there rushed to the spot. Subsequently, his friends and the woman immediately rushed him to the nearby Regency Hospital for treatment. However, upon reaching the hospital, the doctors present declared Sikandar dead after an examination. A wave of mourning spread through his family upon receiving this tragic news.

Upon receiving information about the incident, the local police and a forensic team immediately rushed to the spot. The police and the forensic team conducted a detailed investigation of the crime scene and collected necessary evidence. Kakadeo Police Station in-charge Dharmendra Kumar stated that the police have initiated a preliminary inquiry. The deceased's friends told the police that Sikandar had been mentally very disturbed for some time. Currently, the police are investigating all aspects related to this entire incident seriously and are recording statements from his family members and friends to gather more information.
