When the police got into the flat of businessman Gulshan Vasudeva, they found bodies of his son and daughter and a suicide note scrawled on the wall in which he wished that all the five members of his family be cremated together, an official said on Wednesday.
Vasudeva (45), who along with his wife Parveen and manager Sanjana jumped to death from their eighth-floor apartment in Indirapuram early on Tuesday, had also stuck currency notes amounting to Rs 10,000 on the wall to cover his funeral expenses.
He had also pasted bounced cheques on the wall given to him by his brother-in-law Rakesh Verma, whom he blamed for putting him and his family under financial distress and compelling him to commit suicide.
"The cheques had bounced and the money Vasudeva had invested in the property at Verma's behest was not returned, leaving him bankrupt and the family in depression," Senior Superintendent of Police, Ghaziabad, Sudhir Kumar Singh said.
Referring to Vasudeva's wish of cremating all five together, Singh said, "It is up to the family members and the relatives of the deceased to decide how to cremate them but the currency notes which were pasted on the wall would be handed over to them as per his last wish."
