The bent blades of a ceiling fan led Mulund police to the theory that Jaydeep Panchal, an engineering student, who killed his mother on Saturday, did so after trying to take his own life first. As per police officers, Jaydeep tried to hang himself from the kitchen fan, but failed.

In the meanwhile, his mother Chhaya came to inquire about the noise which led to a fight. In the heat of the moment, Jaydeep picked up the kitchen knife and stabbed his mother to death. Cops further suspect that Jaydeep then took a shower and went to the railway station to die by suicide. Cops are now waiting for Jaydeep, who is currently unconscious, to confirm the theory.
