On Thursday afternoon, Asgar came to the workshop with his two daughters. He ordered lunch from a nearby hotel and had food with his daughters. However, when Asgar's wife called him around 5 pm, he did not respond to the call. Worried about her husband and daughters, the woman called her brother, who resided in Kandivli, and asked him to visit the workshop.
Meanwhile, Aasiya, 19-year-old niece of Asgar, went to the workshop to check. "I went to the workshop and found the shutter down. It was unusual, so I opened the shutter and found my uncle hanging. By that time, another relative of uncle came," Aasiya told Mid-day.
Asgar's 13-year-old daughter was found lying on the floor, while the 8-year-old daughter was found sitting on one of the chairs in the workshop. Their face was wrapped with tape.
The police were alerted and upon reaching they found a suicide note.
"A suicide note has been found which states that Asgar was facing huge losses in his business and he could not bear it anymore," an officer from Kandivli police station said.
