In a tragic turn of events, the wife and daughter of Director General Corporate Affairs BK Bansal, who was arrested by the CBI two days ago for alleged bribery, committed suicide at their apartment today, the police said.
Bansal's wife Satyabala (58) and daughter Neha (28) allegedly hung themselves from ceiling fans in two separate rooms at their residence in Nilkanth Apartments in east Delhi's Madhu Vihar, leaving separate suicide notes, saying the CBI raid had caused "great humiliation" and they did not want to live after that. They, however, held nobody responsible for their death.
"Two separate suicide notes were found. They said the CBI raid caused them (the family) great humiliation and they did not want to live any more. Nobody is responsible for their death,” DCP (East) Rishipal Singh said.
Bansal, an additional secretary-rank officer in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, was arrested by the CBI on July 16 for allegedly accepting bribe from a pharmaceutical company official.
CBI spokesperson Devpreet Singh said, "We are deeply shocked and saddened by the incident. It may be mentioned here that the deceased were neither accused nor questioned or summoned in the ongoing investigation. The matter is being looked into by the local police."
