An 18-year-old boy, reportedly upset after his parents refused to buy him an iPhone, jumped from Khavdya Dongar near Tisgaon in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district. His parents, Murlidhar and Sangeeta Chandwade, spent nearly three hours trying to persuade him to move away from the cliff. During the final moments, his father approached him and attempted to pull him back, but both fell from the hill and died. The mother also fell to her death shortly afterward. Police recovered all three bodies and are investigating the circumstances. The incident has highlighted concerns about emotional distress, impulsive decisions and communication within families.
