A senior officer from Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar (MBVV) police said, “After recovering the bodies, we contacted their brother, who told us that around a week ago, his deceased brother desperately needed financial help to repay a loan.” “He had sent this message to many people including his office colleagues. His 45-year-old sister had been staying with him and both were unmarried. Prima facie we have learnt that both consumed some poisonous substance. Forensic teams have collected crucial samples.”
Another officer added that the deceased man had also made calls to people seeking financial help. “We have details of calls, texts and other crucial pieces of evidence which indicate that both of them died by suicide.
