“Surender was mentally disabled since childhood, and taking care of him was not less than any child. Sometimes, he would not eat, and sometimes, he would bother Amarjeet Ahluwalia a lot. After her parents passed away, Amarjeet Ahluwalia had to leave her job and was looking after him alone. But she got frustrated with life and took this extreme action,” said a sub-inspector of the DN Nagar police station told the newspaper.
