Shattered Dreams in Silvassa: 24-Year-Old Bihar Youth Ends Life Just 3 Days After Arrival; Heartbreaking Discovery in Dokmardi! (2026)
Tragedy in Dadra & Nagar Haveli: Suicide Case Investigation
The industrial township of Silvassa was rocked by a tragic incident on Friday evening when a 24-year-old youth from Bihar committed suicide in the Dokmardi area. Having moved to the city just 72 hours prior to seek a better future, the young man’s life ended in a locked room while his uncle was away at work. The sudden and extreme step has left the local migrant community in shock and raised questions about the hidden mental health struggles of young job seekers in early 2026
The Incident: A Grim Return from Work
According to sources from the Silvassa Police, the victim, identified as Pradeep Mahto, had traveled from his native village in Bihar to stay with his uncle in the Navinbhai Building at Dokmardi.
- Friday Morning: Pradeep’s uncle left for his shift at a local factory as usual, leaving Pradeep alone in the room.
- The Fatal Act: During the day, Pradeep locked the door from the inside and used a cloth to hang himself from an iron angle in the ceiling.
- The Discovery: When the uncle returned home in the evening and found the door unresponsive to his knocks, he alerted the neighbors. Forced entry into the room revealed the horrific sight of Pradeep’s body.
Police Investigation: The Missing Link
The Silvassa Police reached the spot promptly and sent the body for a post-mortem at the Shri Vinoba Bhave Civil Hospital.
| Investigation Status | Details |
| Identity | Pradeep Mahto (Age: 24), Native of Bihar |
| Arrival in Silvassa | Only 3 days before the incident |
| Suicide Note | No note has been recovered so far |
| Police Action | Case of accidental death registered; statements of family being recorded |
Possible Motives: Investigators are looking into whether there was a pre-existing domestic dispute in Bihar or if the sudden pressure of finding employment in the industrial belt led to a mental breakdown.
The Toll on Migrant Mental Health
Silvassa is a magnet for thousands of young men from Bihar, UP, and Jharkhand. However, the transition from rural homes to industrial environments can be isolating.
- High Expectations: The pressure to send money home immediately can be overwhelming.
- Loneliness: Moving away from family support systems into cramped labor colonies.
- Job Uncertainty: The competitive nature of the 2026 job market in D&NH.
