The sweeper accused of murdering and attempting to rape the 23-year-old air hostess at Marol, had allegedly told another inmate on Friday that he regretted his actions. Soon after, Bikram Atwal stepped into the bathroom at Andheri jail, and was later found hanging by a pipe there. He had allegedly committed suicide using his trousers. The Andheri police have registered an Accidental Death Report in the matter and are investigating it.
A police officer said, “Another jail inmate told us that Atwal was feeling very guilty. Atwal apparently told him, “Mujhe aise nahin karna chahiye tha. Ye kya kar diya maine,” before he went to the washroom where he was later found.”
