A 27-year-old woman, daughter of Maharashtra cadre IAS officers, died by suicide early on Monday by jumping off from the 10th floor of a high-rise apartment in south Mumbai, police said.
The victim, Lipi, died by suicide at Suruchi apartment near Mantralaya, the state secretariat at 4 am. She was a law student and pursuing her LLB course in Haryana's Sonipat. Police said she was anxious about her performance in academics, which forced her to take the extreme step.
Lipi was immediately taken to the GT Hospital where she was declared brought dead. A suicide note was recovered from the spot in which she stated that no one should be blamed for her death.
A case of unnatural death was registered at the Cuffe Parade police station.
Lipi's father, Vikas Rastogi, is the principal secretary in Maharashtra's Higher and Technical Education Department. Her mother Radhika Rastogi is also a senior IAS officer serving in the state government.
