According to police, Jagdev Singh Yadav was serving at the air force station in Jodhpur as a Junior Warrant Officer and was living with his mother, who was sick and undergoing treatment.
Yadav was found lying unconscious in the compound of his house this morning by a neighbor and was rushed to a hospital, said Rajendra Prasad, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP).
He succumbed to his injuries later due to excessive bleeding and delay in treatment, said Prasad.
Prima facie, it seems the officer first strangulated his mother and then jumped off the roof of his house, they said.

Yadav had shifted to Jodhpur recently from Bangalore leaving his wife and children behind.
His mother Santara Devi (70) was sick for some time and Yadav was looking after her.
The police have shifted both the bodies to the hospital morgue and has informed Yadav's relatives in Haryana.
"There was no suicide note and any exact cause of suicide has yet been known yet. Apparently, since he was living alone with his sick mother and the rest of the family was not around, he might have developed some frustration and took the extreme step", said Prasad.
