A tragic incident unfolded in Solapur on Thursday afternoon when Sunil Motilal Sadarangani, a 59-year-old well-known businessman and owner of the popular Multani Bakery, lost his life after jumping from a high-rise building.

The shocking event has left residents and the local business community deeply disturbed.

As per police officials and eyewitness accounts, Sadarangani’s behaviour appeared unusual, prompting residents to alert the building’s staff. A watchman along with an office employee went to the upper floors and attempted to speak to him calmly. They were initially successful in bringing him down to the 10th floor, where he mentioned that his car keys were missing. However, within moments, he suddenly ran back towards the upper floors. Before anyone could intervene or restrain him, he jumped from the building.

Police were immediately informed, and senior officers rushed to the location. He was found in a critical condition and was promptly taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance.
