A well-known real estate developer allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the 23rd floor of a building in Mumbai, a police official said on Thursday.

Police later found a suicide note at the 57-year-old builder’s gym in which it was mentioned that nobody was responsible for his death and no enquiry should be made with anyone, he said.
