BENGALURU: He bought some biscuits and chocolates for his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter after driving out of Bengaluru. He even played with her in the rear seat. But thoughts of harassment by lenders prevented him from returning home and he did the unimaginable - killing the little girl before trying to end his life.
This is what Rahul Paramar, 45, a debt-ridden techie who survived the suicide attempt, told police. "She started crying and I didn't have any money left with me. A worse situation awaited me if I returned home. I just hugged her tight and killed her. My helplessness to buy her food made me take the decision. I jumped into the lake with her to kill myself, but didn't drown," he claimed.
