But his immediate family had asked his driver of 20 years, Ajit Jha, to keep a watch on him.
Also, the fact Sheth’s son Aakash rushed to Worli when Jha told him that his father had got off the car at the Worli end of the sea link to take a walk indicates he was apprehensive that something might have gone wrong.
When Aakash could not reach his father on his mobile phone around 1.10pm, he called up Jha. Sheth had told his family that he would return home by 1.15pm. “After speaking to Jha, Aakash and his mother rushed to the spot where Sheth had got off the car,” Dhananjay Kulkarni, DCP (Zone V), said.
Preliminary findings suggest Sheth, the founder and chief managing director of Raj Travels and Tours Ltd, was going through financial problems, police said. His son was the first to find the suicide note from the car.
Police are still to zero in on the exact spot from where Sheth might have jumped off into the sea.
Some officers say if he had jumped to his death from the Worli end, his body would have had injury marks because of the rocky seabed.
“But there was not a single injury mark on the body,” an officer said.
