Musician hangs self while on video call with wife in London
Surat: A 50-year-old musician from Surat died by suicide while on a video call with his wife, who is currently in London. The deceased, identified as Ojas Jariwala, reportedly told his wife he was missing her and asked her to return, moments before hanging himself from a ceiling fan. The incident took place around 1.30 am on Sunday in Jariwala's 12th-floor apartment at Sarjan Palace, located in the Chowk Bazar police station area. Police have registered a case of accidental death and placed his body in cold storage, awaiting the arrival of his wife. According to police, Jariwala, a keyboard player associated with a local music orchestra, was alone when the incident happened. Jariwala's two daughters aged 22-years and 12-years had gone to their maternal uncle's home in Bharuch to celebrate Rakshabandhan. His wife, Rekha alias Deviyani, is a singer. Both had applied for UK visas for a music event, but while Deviyani's visa was approved along with her brother's, Jariwala's application was rejected. On Sunday, during a late-night video call, Jariwala expressed his longing for her return. He then climbed onto a chair and went out of the camera's view, possibly after his phone slipped from position. Alarmed, his wife contacted an acquaintance living on the building's seventh floor, who broke into the locked flat and found Jariwala hanging. "We have kept the body in cold storage. His wife is on her way from the UK," a police official said, adding that both were well-known in the local music fraternity.
