Bollywood dancer Abhijeet Shinde commits suicide
New Delhi : Abhijeet Shinde, a popular dancer in Bollywood, who had worked with biggies like Ranbir Kapoor and Ajay Devgn, was found dead at his Bhandup residence in Mumbai on Thursday morning.
According to a report in a leading daily, the 32-year-old dancer ended his life after his long battle with depression.
The report further suggests that the dancer was disturbed as his wife, who left him three months ago, did not let him meet their daughter. He had been depressed ever since his wife left him.
"Shinde's wife had been living at her mother's place since the past three months. She was not allowing Shinde to meet their two-year-old daughter, which upset him badly. He had been depressed over the past few days," a police officer told the daily.
Shinde is suspected to have hanged himself from the ceiling fan at his home around 6.30 am on Thursday (August 23).
The police have found a suicide note in which the deceased has mentioned that he wants his bank money to be transferred on the name of his daughter.
"We registered an accidental death report and handed over the body to the deceased's family members after conducting a postmortem," added the officer.

Crossing river, trekking hill voters reach polling booths to cast vote in Surguja LS constituency
