According
to
reports,
Mumbai
filmmaker
Santosh
Gupta's
wife
and
daughter
allegedly
died
by
suicide
after
setting
themselves
on
fire.
A
police
report
on
Wednesday
identified
the
deceased
as
Asmita
Gupta
and
Srishti
Gupta.
The
mother-daughter
duo
residing
in
DN
Nagar
in
Andheri
(west),
Mumbai
set
themselves
aflame
on
Monday
(April
5)
afternoon
in
their
apartment.
The
official
revealed
that
the
incident
came
to
light
after
the
neighbours
summoned
the
fire
brigade
as
the
fire
spread.
Reportedly,
the
two
were
rushed
to
Cooper
Hospital,
but
the
wife
was
declared
dead
on
arrival.
Meanwhile,
the
daughter
had
suffered
70
per
cent
burns
and
passed
away
a
day
later
at
Airoli
National
Burns
Centre.
Senior
inspector
Bharat
Gaikwad,
from
DN
Nagar
Police
Station,
revealed
that
two
different
accidental
death
cases
have
been
registered
and
further
investigation
is
underway.
However,
the
preliminary
investigation
revealed
that
Asmita
had
been
suffering
from
a
prolonged
kidney
illness.
Allegedly,
the
prolonged
illness
led
her
to
take
the
drastic
step
while
Srishti
took
the
step
as
she
could
not
bear
the
trauma
of
her
mother's
sickness.
