Youth seeks forgiveness before ending life in Agonda

CANACONA

When Sunny Pagi (26) of Agonda began calling and messaging people to apologise for his behaviour and to seek their forgiveness, little did they know that he would end his life in his house a short while later on Wednesday night.

According to sources, Pagi locked himself in one of the rooms of his house, and reportedly made calls and messages, before taking the drastic step to end his life.

Sources informed that family members, who were staying in another house, came looking out for Sunny when he was not contactable and noticed one room in the house locked from the inside.

Sunny’s father and brother broke open the door only to find the lifeless body of Sunny at about 10.30 pm on Wednesday night.

Canacona police suspect the deceased took the extreme step somewhere between 8 pm and 9 pm. The body was sent for an autopsy at the South Goa District Hospital at Margao and later handed over to the family, for final rites which were performed at the Agonda crematorium.

PSI Swadesh Dessai is investigating the case under the supervision of Canacona PI Harish Raut Desai.
