Police Identify Victim as Gurugram-Based Software Engineer
A 28-year-old software engineer, identified as Sambhav Jain, died by suicide after jumping from the balcony of an apartment in the Supernova Spira building in Sector 94, Noida, on October 3. The incident took place under the jurisdiction of Sector 126 Police Station.
According to police, Jain was a resident of IMT Manesar in Gurugram, Haryana, and worked for a private company in Gurugram. He had travelled to Noida alone and booked an Airbnb apartment for a one-day stay. Police said he checked into the apartment at around 3 pm on Friday, a day before the incident.
AC Workers Tried to Stop Him
An AC repair team working in a nearby apartment reportedly noticed Jain near the balcony railing and attempted to persuade him to step back. According to reports, Jain told the workers that he was depressed shortly before the incident.
Noida Police immediately reached the spot after receiving information and began an investigation. The forensic science team inspected the location and collected evidence, while CCTV footage from the building and surrounding areas is being examined.

Further reports have indicated that Jain was also dealing with personal difficulties, including a recent divorce and concerns related to his child’s health. Police are examining these circumstances as part of the investigation and have not announced a final conclusion regarding the exact reason for his death.
