Mumbai: A South Bombay based woman allegedly committed suicide by jumping from a building at Fort on Thursday. She was identified as Zenobia Batliwala, 43, and the police said she was depressed.
Around 7 am on Thursday, locals called the police about a woman lying unconscious near Patel Chambers next to Fort Laundry, a few meters away from Ideal Corner, Fort.
The police took her to St George Hospital where she was declared dead by doctors.
Batliwala lived with her mother, 90, on the third floor of Patel Chambers. According to the police, Batliwala was depressed since her father died a year ago. She quit her job a few months ago and was looking for a new one. The police said she had multiple injuries and was found just below the window of her house, suggesting that she jumped from it.
The cause of death in the medical report is from an injury to the head and hands.

The police have, however, ruled out sexual assault. DCP Sangram Singh Nishandar said, “According to the medical report, Batliwala’s death is from a fall injury and not a sexual assault. In the investigation so far, we have found that she was mentally ill and that is why she committed suicide.”
