"The mother-daughter duo left their residence at D'Mello compound and moved into a relative's rented flat at Samarth society," said a police official.

Around 9.15am on Sunday, Sonal's mother had gone to work. Her relative was taking a bath and his wife had gone to Pune, when Sonal jumped off the balcony on the sixth floor. She was rushed to the VN Desai Hospital, where she died," the official said.

A suicide note written in Marathi and addressed to her mother and relatives was found in the house.
