Atul Dhandhia, the businessman who died by suicide
A 53-year-old tour and travel businessman allegedly jumped into the Bhayandar creek from the newly constructed Versova bridge at Bhayandar on Wednesday evening. Police said the victim had also attempted to end his life at Bandra Worli Sea Link, but he failed because a security guard didn’t allow his bike on the Sea Link. The body of the businessman is still missing and untraceable.
The businessman, Atul Dhandhia, was a resident of Mira Road and ran a tour and travel business in Mira Road for the past 30 years. Police said Dhandhia called his daughter and wife and informed them that he was planning to commit suicide from Bandra Worli Sea Link on Wednesday. The family also looked on as he jumped into the creek from the Versova bridge. The family also registered the missing complaint at the Bhayandar police station.
