20.08.2016,AHMEDABAD: The Vaghela family which lives at Ganesh Sheri, Someshwarnagar in Vasna, was devastated on Wednesday when it learnt that the family patriarch Bhikhabhai, 53, had committed. The family was under the impression that Bhikhabhai had gone out for some work that morning. However, at 12:15 pm on Wednesday, his body was fished out of Sabarmati by the Ahmedabad Fire and Emergency Services (AFES).
Riverfront (W) police have registered a case of accidental death suspected to be suicide. But family members say they never saw it coming.
Riverfront (W) police said one possible reason why Bhikhabhai may have committed suicide is that he was worried about the future of his two unmarried daughters, one of whom has a speech and hearing impairment. There was, however, no suicide note as Bhikhabhai was illiterate, the police said.
Vaghela's son, Ishwar, said they were natives of Ognaj and had settled in Ahmedabad over two decades ago when his father and mother Revaben got jobs as sanitary workers in the AMC. "We are four siblings with three sisters - Bhavna, Aruna and Dharmistha. While Bhavna is married, a search for suitable grooms for the two others is still on," Ishwar said.He further said that he could not think of any possible reason why his father had committed suicide. "His job was fine and there were no apparent problems. He was a bit worried about my sisters and was actively looking for suitable matches. Due to Aruna's impairment, she was close to his heart," Ishwar said.
