Bharuchas were aware of son's suicide plan

Roozan Bharucha, who allegedly attempted suicide on Tuesday afternoon at his residence in Satellite area by consuming over 40 anti-depression pills, has regained consciousness.

However, his parents, Parvez Bharucha and Beroz Bharucha, who had also tried to end their lives in a similar fashion, are still unconscious.

The Satellite police recovered three suicide notes from the spot written by Roozan, in which he mentioned about the mental torture he was going through because of his family members, said a source in the police.

BH Rabari, Satellite PSI and investigating officer, said, "We learnt from the statement given by Roozan that his parents had prior information about his plans." Parvez and Beroz threatened Roozan saying they would also kill themselves but the latter was firm on taking the drastic step, added the source.

Roozan's first suicide note mentioned that the reason for committing suicide is not because he was in debt but because he could not put up with his family anymore. The other notes state that he had taken a loan of Rs71 lakh from Rajnikant Naik and his investors for establishing Biolace Medi Equipments Pvt Ltd on a 10-year-contract basis. Together Naik and his son hold 50% stake in the firm.

In one of his suicide notes Roozan apologised to his parents and Arnaz, the girl he was going to marry, for resorting to suicide.

Satellite police have informed that Roozan's marriage was called off because Naik had informed Arnaz's family about the financial problems the Bharuchas were facing.
