A 27-year-old flight attendant allegedly committed suicide by jumping off the 4th floor of a building on Saturday in Kolkata. Reportedly, the air hostess was suffering from mental illness due to a lack of regular work for the last two years.

The hospital authorities informed the police about the incident, and a team from the local police station reached the spot and started the preliminary inquiry.

A report quoted DSP Payal Harsimrat Singh of the Punjab Police as saying that Tejinder Singh, a resident of Punjab’s Mangewal village, was nabbed by the Khanna police.

DSP Harsimrat said Tejinder, who was a gunman for Amritpal Singh for a long period and often lived with the Waris Punjab De chief, is also involved in the Ajnala case.
