The deceased has been identified as Akash Sarjerao Shinde (30, Mukhed, Nanded).

Meanwhile, Sunanda returned home around 3 pm, to celebrate Raksha Bandhan. But as she called out for Akash, she received no response. She then peered through a window and discovered her brother hanging from the ceiling. She called the neighbors, who promptly brought down Akash and rushed him to the government medical college and hospital. But the doctors declared Akash dead on arrival.

He also wrote that he was under stress for the past few days and he needs rest, declaring that ‘today is his last day.’As Akash took his life on Raksha Bandhan, Sunanda's cry made the people there cry too. A case of accidental death was registered in the MIDC Waluj police station.
