Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: A 17-year-old boy, identified as Sahil and the only child of Deputy Commissioner of Police Shilwant Nandedkar, tragically took his own life by hanging himself from the ceiling fan at his home in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The incident occurred early on Sunday morning.
Sahil, a meritorious student pursuing his Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) while also preparing for the IIT entrance examination, left a poignant note on the mirror of his bedroom, stating, "I enjoyed this life and body. I want to restart. I am not quitting."
The family had celebrated Dasara together just two days prior, and Sahil appeared cheerful during a family dinner, joking with his parents before expressing his intention to study in his room. He locked the door from the inside before taking the extreme step.
The incident was discovered around 6 am when DCP Nandedkar, preparing for his morning walk, noticed the door to his son’s room was locked and unresponsive to knocks. Concerned, he peered through the window and found Sahil hanging.
The Vedantnagar police have registered a case of accidental death and are investigating the circumstances that may have led to this tragic event. After an autopsy, the body was released to the family for final rites at the Pratapnagar crematorium.

Kolkata (PTI): BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, who defeated West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Bhabanipur and secured Nandigram for three times in a row in the recent assembly polls, said on Wednesday that he would vacate one of the two constituencies within 10 days.
Adhikari also asserted that the party's central leadership would decide which constituency he would retain.
"I will vacate one seat within 10 days. The party will decide which one I retain. I will not forget my responsibility towards the people of Bhabanipur and Nandigram," he said.
Adhikari on Monday defeated Banerjee in Bhabanipur by over 15,000 votes, puncturing what was long seen as her safest political refuge and delivering a decisive psychological blow to the TMC, amid a sweeping BJP surge across West Bengal.
Addressing party workers and supporters in Nandigram in Purba Medinipur district, the BJP leader appealed to them not to take out victory processions immediately and instead maintain peace.
"Do not take out victory rallies now. Maintain peace and discipline. Celebrate after May 9, after taking permission," he told party workers.
State BJP president Samik Bhattacharya on Wednesday announced that the oath-taking ceremony of the new government will be held on May 9 at Brigade Parade Ground.
Referring to alleged attacks on BJP workers during the TMC regime, Adhikari said he would not forget the “atrocities" faced by them and assured them of taking appropriate action against perpetrators through legal processes.
"I was part of the 2011 ‘poribartan’ (change), and now I am part of the real change. I offer my gratitude to the people of Nandigram," Adhikari said.
He was referring to the TMC's victory in 2011 when the Mamata Banerjee party dismantled the 34-year Left Front regime in the state.
Adhikari offered prayers at a Hanuman statue in Nandigram and remembered the BJP workers, who had died in political violence.
"We will work in such a way that the BJP government in Bengal stays for 100 years," he said, expressing hope that the BJP’s vote share in the state would rise from the current 46 per cent to 60 per cent in future elections.
The BJP leader also assured residents of Nandigram of improved drinking water supply and better hospital and education infrastructure.
