Key Questions Answered
The Bhayandar Railway Police registered a case of abetment of suicide after 84-year-old Gabriel Coutinho died by suicide on September 28, 2026, and left a note blaming his son Sham Coutinho and another man named Sagar for long-standing harassment.
The dispute originated after Gabriel transferred the family house property to his two daughters in 2021 and subsequently stopped his 45-year-old son Sham from entering the residence, which sparked ongoing family arguments.
The February 2022 CCTV footage shows Sham entering the house with a bag and an iron rod while Gabriel attempts to stop him and protect himself, with the rod being pushed through a window during the altercation.
