On April 5, Filmmaker Santosh Gupta's 55-year old wife and daughter allegedly set themselves on fire at their home in Mumbai's Andheri area.
According to PTI, the police informed that the deceased Asmita and Srishti Gupta had allegedly committed suicide in their apartment at DN Nagar in Andheri (west) in the wee hours. The officials further said that the matter came to light when neighbours alerted the fire brigade. The two were immediately taken to the hospital where Asmita was declared dead on arrival while Srishti had suffered 70 per cent burns.
According to the preliminary investigation, it has been found that Asmita was forced to allegedly take the extreme step, as she suffered from a prolonged kidney ailment. However, the daughter was in serious trauma of her mother's illness, could not see her in pain and hence, took such a drastic step.
