In a heartbreaking incident that has sent shockwaves across Delhi, the body of Sneha Debnath, who went missing on July 7, was recovered from the Yamuna River near Geeta Colony flyover on Sunday. The 7-day-long search came to a tragic end when police confirmed that Sneha had died by suicide after jumping from the Signature Bridge. Her final words, recorded in a deeply emotional suicide note, paint a haunting picture of a young woman grappling with feelings of failure, emotional weight, and hopelessness.
In her note, Sneha wrote that she had made the decision to end her life on her own, emphasizing that no one had instigated or pressured her into it. “I am ending my life by jumping from Signature Bridge on the morning of 7th July,” she wrote, clearly stating her intention. She confessed that she felt like a burden, and that living with such emotions had become unbearable. “I am feeling unsuccessful and burdened. Living like this is becoming unbearable,” her note read. Sneha was firm in stating that no one else was responsible for her decision—“It is only my fault,” she wrote.
Sneha, originally from Tripura, had been living in Delhi’s Paryavaran Complex in Mehrauli. On the morning of July 7, she told her mother that she was going to drop her friend Patunia at the railway station. That was the last time her family heard from her. Concerned when she didn’t return, her family registered a missing report with Mehrauli police station.
During the investigation, a cab driver revealed that he had dropped Sneha near Signature Bridge, which led authorities to intensify their search in the area. After a week of uncertainty and anguish, her body was finally discovered near the Yamuna, confirming the family's worst fears.
The tragic end to Sneha’s life has once again raised serious questions about mental health awareness, emotional support systems, and the silent battles many face. Her suicide note is a stark reminder that even those who appear composed may be silently struggling with immense inner turmoil.
