21-Year-Old in Greater Noida Allegedly Stabs Mother, Then Jumps to Death

Authorities say the case highlights gaps in mental-health care as investigators begin a post-mortem and collect witness statements.

Overview

  • Police say a domestic dispute in a fifth-floor flat in Greater Noida West ended when the 21-year-old allegedly stabbed his mother and then jumped from the building, and doctors declared him dead.
  • Officials identified the man as Sagar Yadav and said family members told police he had been mentally unwell for some time.
  • The mother was taken to hospital with minor injuries and is reported to be stable and responding to treatment.
  • Investigators have taken the body into custody, sent it for post-mortem, are recording statements from family and neighbours, and have noted a circulating on-scene video and an official police tweet.
  • The case is likely to prompt scrutiny of local mental-health support and family safety practices as police seek to confirm motive, the medical cause of death, and the precise sequence of events.
