An assistant professor at arts college, Osmania University, Ajay Kumar, husband of Shaikpet tahsildar, Ch. Sujatha, allegedly committed suicide by jumping from an apartment at Chikkadpally on Wednesday morning.

The incident took place at Chikkadpally street no. 10 at around 7.30 am. Kumar, 46, a resident of Gandhi Nagar area, had been staying at his elder sister’s house in the locality since the arrest of his wife Ch. Sujatha. The couple has two young children.

Chikkadpally inspector, P. Shiva Shankar Rao, said that Ajay was allegedly depressed after his wife’s arrest, due to which his family members asked him to stay with his sister. At around 7.30 am, he jumped from the fifth floor of the building and died on the spot.

A case has been registered and the body is being handed over to the family after the autopsy at the Osmania general hospital mortuary, said the inspector.

On Wednesday, a court granted 20 days of bail to Sujatha, who was lodged at a women’s prison in the city post her arrest.
