Dnyaneshwar used to stay with his parents Subhash (65) and Promodini (55). Strangely, before the incident, Dnyaneshwar sent 12 messages to relatives and friends saying: &ldquo;Urgent help! House robbery.&rdquo; Everyone who got the message gathered outside the flat. The police were also called. &ldquo;When the relatives smelt gas from the apartment, they broke open the door,&rdquo; said a police official from the Bazaar Peth police station. According to the police, the son allegedly smothered his parents with a pillow, and proceeded to tie their hands and legs. He then killed himself by putting the LPG gas pipe in his mouth, suspect the police. Dnyaneshwar, who was a bachelor, worked as a lab assistant at IIT-Powai while his father was a retiree from a company in Badlapur. The police initially thought it was a robbery that turned into murder, as all the gold jewellery was missing. But all the valuables were later found in a bag. The police are trying to ascertain what led Dnyaneshwar to take such a drastic step. &ldquo;The family was well-to-do, and we don&rsquo;tthink he was under the burden of debt. There seem to be no signs of forced entry, and nothing is missing from the house. So,there&rsquo;s no question of it being a robbery, &rdquo; added the police officer. The police also enquired with the seven watchmen of buildings nearby, but found no leads. The family had recently moved into the flat on rent.u00a0
