On Thursday afternoon, a 67-year-old patient undergoing treatment at Bombay Hospital committed suicide by jumping off his 11th-floor room. The deceased, identified as Sanjay Khanna, was admitted to the hospital on July 15, 2019, as he was suffering from chronic diarrhoea and hypertension, said an officer attached to Azad Maidan police station where a case of an Accidental Death Report (ADR) has been registered.

Ruling out any foul play, the investigation said, "He was supposed to get discharged on Thursday and his family members had gone on the first floor of the hospital to get his discharge papers. The hospital staff members had just left his room. His son Siddhartha Khanna told us that he was suffering from chronic diarrhoea since last year."
