A profound sorrow has enveloped Panchkula's Sector 20 following a heartbreaking sequence of events that saw an 18-year-old girl take her own life, only for her grief-stricken father to follow suit the very next day. The tragedy began on a somber Friday when Priya, a bright first-year student at a private college in Mohali, ended her life after a seemingly minor argument with her mother over phone usage.
According to reports from the Sector 20 police, the dispute escalated, and in a moment of despair, Priya resorted to the drastic step.
Her father, Balwinder Singh, a 42-year-old security guard, discovered his daughter's lifeless body. Overwhelmed by the horrific sight, his wife, Neetu, collapsed into unconsciousness. Balwinder, grappling with unimaginable grief, immediately alerted neighbours and the authorities, setting in motion a chain of events that would further devastate the family.
The anguish proved too heavy for Balwinder to bear.
The following morning, Saturday, the community awoke to further devastation. Balwinder Singh was found hanging in the very same room where his daughter had died. Police recovered a suicide note from the scene, a poignant testament to his unbearable pain, clearly stating that he was taking his life because he could not cope with the loss of his beloved daughter, Priya.
The Sector 20 police, led by Station House Officer Inspector Dalip Kumar, promptly launched investigations into both incidents.
While initially registering proceedings under Section 174 of the CrPC, a thorough examination of the circumstances, including statements from the surviving family members and preliminary forensic findings, indicated no foul play in either case. The incidents appear to be a direct consequence of an unimaginable wave of grief and despair.
The family, already reeling from Priya's sudden passing, was dealt a second, equally crushing blow with Balwinder's death.
The mother, Neetu, is now left to navigate an unbearable void, a stark reminder of the fragile line between everyday life and profound tragedy. This devastating incident casts a long shadow over the community, underscoring the silent battles some individuals face and the ripple effect of such immense loss.
