A non-resident Indian woman from the US Sunday committed suicide by jumping off the 14th floor of an apartment block in Ghaziabad, police said.

Sunita Gupta, 55, who came to India 20 days ago, jumped off Kaushambi’s Malayagiri Tower in the afternoon.

“Prima facie it seems a case of depression,” said Kamlesh Bahadur, police circle officer III.

She and her husband Bharat Prakash Gupta, a senior manager US aerospace major Boeing, had come to visit her mother and younger brother here.

The two got married 10 years ago. Both had divorced their previous partners.

On Saturday afternoon, Sunita climbed up to the 14th floor and jumped to the ground, police said.

Her 78-year-old mother was ill and her younger brother had recently been divorced, police said.
