Satinder Singh Sawhney, a top Uttarakhand builder, on Friday allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the eighth floor of Pacific Golf in Dehradun, police said.
After he fell from the eighth floor, Sawhney, who lived in the Race Course area, was rushed to Max Hospital where he could not be survived.
On the basis of suicide note recovered from 52 year old Sawhney and other evidences, police swung into action and arrested two brothers – Ajay Gupta and Anil Gupta of Gupta Brothers fame, said SSP Dehradun Ajai Singh. The two brothers, who used to live in Dalanwala locality, were arrested under section 306 of the IPC.
In the suicide note, Sawhney aka Baba Sawhney has blamed the Gupta brothers for allegedly harassing him over some projects.
Police sources said Sahni was under mental depression for sometime after he received alleged threats from Gupta brothers over some money deals.
In a police complaint filed by Sawhney’s son Ranvir Singh in Rajpur police station, it was alleged that Gupta brothers were trying to harass Sawhney over some money deals and indulging in blackmails. “On the basis of evidences, we took into custody the two Gupta brothers for further investigations,” said the SSP. The two brothers will be produced before the local court tomorrow, he said.
Sawhney was famous for his Sawhney builders company in Dehradun and was constructing a series of projects in the city.
In the past also, Sawhney had filed a police complaint alleging that he was being harassed by Gupta brothers who were putting pressure on him in connection with two projects. Police sources said Gupta brothers wanted their money back in two projects due to which Sawhney became mentally upset. For exerting pressure on Sawhney, Gupta brothers had also filed a police complaint in Saharanpur due to which he had become more mentally agitated leading to his suicide, the sources said.
