Daughter Of IAS Officers Jumps Off Building In Mumbai; Suicide Note Found

New Delhi: Lipi Rastogi, the 27-year-old daughter of senior bureaucrats, allegedly committed suicide by jumping off the 10th floor of a building near the Mantralaya in south Mumbai early Monday morning, police informed.

It has been learnt that Lipi, who was a law student in Haryana’s Sonepat, jumped from the building near the state secretariat at around 4 am, News18 reported. She was immediately taken to the GT Hospital where she was declared dead, officials said.

Lipi was anxious about her performance in academics. Notably, a suicide note was recovered from the spot in which she purportedly stated that no one should be blamed for her death, the official was quoted as saying.

A case of unnatural death has been registered at the Cuffe Parade police station, officials said.

 

The deceased’s father, Vikas Rastogi, is the principal secretary in Maharashtra’s Higher and Technical Education Department. Her mother Radhika Rastogi is also a senior IAS officer serving in the state government.

Earlier, Maharashtra cadre IAS officers Milind and Manisha Mhaiskar lost their 18-year-old son in 2017 after he jumped off a high-rise in Mumbai.
