A mixed emotion of despair and anger against corruption in the bureaucracy and greed of political class pushed eminent builder Suraj Parmar to brink of frustration, so much so that he was contemplating suicide for the last two months, highly-placed officials who have access to his note told .
The 46-year-old head of the Cosmos Group, found dead with a single bullet in his right neckline on Wednesday, is said to have confessed to his extreme feelings in an exhaustive 20-page handwritten note which was recovered from his sedan.
“I have been completely frustrated for last two months for a number of reasons, especially because of harassment from the politicians. I wanted to end my life in an accident. However, I thought an accidental death will not help reach out the message I want to give about the policy failures concerning the housing sector and the political harassment,” Parmar is understood to have said in his note, it is learnt.
On Wednesday, he asked his driver to get down at the Cadbury junction and drove down to his office at Ovala armed with his licensed .32 bore revolver. It is reliably learnt that Parmar left the note in his car and walked into his office, where he is said to have occupied the executive chair and reportedly pulled out the revolver and in a fraction of a second pulled the trigger.
Parmar has named six corporators for harassing him and as an afterthought scribbled on these names fearing that it would lead to more harassment for his family.
It is learnt that the builder also mentioned that while PM Modi has announced affordable homes for citizens, corrupt politicians and archaic laws framed in 1960’s were still governing the housing industry. “It is my sincere request that the politicians spare the builder fraternity from harassment. Pls, pls, pls, pls, pls, pls spare us ,” the note is believed to have said. “Just as the farmers in India are ending their lives, you will soon hear builders commiting suicide,” he is said to have written in the note.
