Early March 19 morning, Shah committed suicide. But before he killed himself, he allegedly strangulated the 10-year-old. In a suicide note that police believe was left by him, Shah wrote he loved Jinay way too much to leave him behind. The note says the follow-

“I will live for next 10 to 15 years. Instead of going to the court all these years, I prefer to die and get rid of this matter forever… I am taking Jinay along with me. I cannot go without Jinay. I have been taking his care. So I have taken the hard decision to take him along.”

Neighbors narrated to the media how from dropping him to school to picking up him, playing with him in the evenings and putting him to bed at night, Jinay was rarely ever seen away from his grandfather.
The family is reportedly in shock, unable to come to terms with the event that unfolded. It is reported that relatives are keeping curious visitors away in an effort to give them space and respect their privacy
