Indore, March 5 A young man allegedly committed suicide here by jumping from the fifth floor of a building on Thursday, with his sister claiming that he had been slapped by a police officer, which led him to take the extreme step.
The police, however, denied the slapping incident.
Raj Makwana (22) jumped from the residential building in Tapti Complex in Chandan Nagar area in the early hours on Thursday and died on the spot, a police official said.
On the previous night, he had had a heated argument with the security guard and police had been called to the spot, the official said.
Makwana's elder sister, Nikita, told reporters that he had stepped out for a walk after feeling uneasy at home late Wednesday night.
"The police arrived at the scene after receiving information from the security guard (following an argument) and questioned my brother. My brother apologised to the police, saying 'sorry.' Despite this, a police officer slapped him," she said.
Makwana later told his family members that he was afraid the police would take him away, she added.
