According to Hasmukh Dedhia, owner of a shop at Deepali Kunj Building where Khedekar resided, he saw Khedekar fall in front of his shop at around 8.15 am. &ldquo;There was a loud thud and when I came out to check, I saw Khedekar lying on the road. Nearby shop owners said they saw him jump from the terrace, and land directly on the electric wires, which resulted in the noise,&rdquo; said Dedhia, adding that the police was informed immediately. Residents alleged that while a beat marshal attached to the Dombivli police station visited the spot in 10 minutes, an ambulance arrived only 20 minutes later. Khedekar, who worked at a pharmaceutical company in Navi Mumbai, lived on the fourth floor of the building and had been unemployed for six months ever since he met with a train accident, which left him with a major leg injury. His wife had started working five months ago to support their family of four, including a six-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter.
Khedekar&rsquo;s family members weren&rsquo;t available for comment. Neighbours said that they had seen the entire family at a local festival on Thursday night. Meanwhile, police are yet to confirm if Khedekar was suffering from depression for last six months.
