On June 7, 2025, Tauhid was found hanging inside his shop. A day later, his younger brother discovered a suicide note on the shop’s computer, clearly naming four individuals allegedly responsible for Tauhid’s financial downfall and mental distress.
The suicide note names Narayana Lal Devda, his wife Chanda Devi, their associate Naresh Kumar Teli, and Bank of Baroda official Jyotsna Jagtap. According to the FIR, Tauhid had paid ₹8.5 lakh to Narayan Devda for two properties under a live-and-license rental agreement. However, possession of the properties was never handed over. One of the properties was allegedly sublet illegally, and eventually, rent payments stopped. The accused reportedly left the locality and became unreachable, exacerbating Tauhid’s financial losses and emotional turmoil.
The note also describes an additional loss of ₹42,000 due to a fraudulent Telegram link and blames the bank officer for freezing his account without any notice. Tauhid claimed that these financial setbacks had critically impacted his business, leaving him cornered and unable to cope.
Acting on the complaint and the submitted suicide note, the Mankhurd police have registered an FIR against the four individuals under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including abetment to suicide. The FIR also includes details of financial transactions submitted by Taufiq Khan, reinforcing the claims made in the suicide note.
The case has shaken the local community and raised concerns about fraudulent rental practices and the potential role of banking officials in aiding or neglecting scams. Investigators have launched a probe to trace the accused, who are reportedly absconding, and to verify the allegations, especially those involving the bank account freeze and real estate dealings.
