A woman in Mumbai jumped from her 12th-floor apartment with her young son on Monday in an alleged suicide.
Reshma Trenchil, 44, left a note accusing her neighbors of harassing her by complaining about her son making noise.
The neighbors were Ayub Khan, 67, his 60-year-old wife, and their son Shadab.
According to the police, a case has been registered and a 33-year-old man, reportedly one of the neighbors from the flat below, has been arrested.
