However, the smell reached neighbors and they alerted police on Sunday at around 7 PM. Police team that reached his home found doors locked from inside. They made a forced entry from the balcony of the house only to find a highly decomposed body of Mithilesh in the bathroom.
Later, they found kshitij’s body too in one of the rooms lying in pool of blood. He killed himself the same day, said Pranav Tayal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Rohini).
“We also found a suicide note of about 77 pages at the spot written by Kshitij,” he added saying the man was battling through ‘depression’ since he was jobless from months.

“He mentioned that since his childhood he had been lonely and had no friends. He also wrote about his father and the problems he had with him. After his father died, he stated, his mother did not give him money and both he and his mother were suffering from a disease,” a police officer said.
The note said his mother had “gone through a lot and he wanted to free her”, the officer said.Kshitij wrote that he first strangled his mother with a chain. After 10 minutes, he slit her throat because he had read somewhere that “the soul would not attain salvation if a person was strangled”, the police said.

Police said nothing suspicious has been detected yet. They are trying to contact relatives to know about the family. Kshitij’s father, Shri Niwas, was a retired government official. After his death, the mother and son had survived on his monthly pension, the police said.
