55-year-old man in distress commits suicide in Patna

PATNA: A 55-year-old man allegedly committed suicide in his rented accommodation in Patna on Wednesday. Financial crisis seems to be the reason behind the suicide, police said. This was the second incident of suicide in the city in the last 24 hours.
The landlord found the body hanging from the ceiling fan in his room at CID Colony under Jakkanpur police station around 11am.
Jakkanpur police station SHO Mukesh Kumar Verma said the landlord informed him that the man was working as a dishwasher in a restaurant. “He was living there for the last four months. The landlord said the deceased worked in a restaurant,” the SHO said and added: “The man went to his room on Tuesday night, but didn’t come out in the morning. When the landlord went to check on him, his body was found hanging.”
According to the SHO, the landlord did not know his name and family background. “We have found one identification card of Roshan Kumar Malick without any photograph. Based on the address given in the card, we have contacted Masuarhi police station to know the whereabouts of the deceased,” Verma said.
No suicide note was found in the room. The body was sent for autopsy.
“Prima facie it appears that the man committed suicide due to financial crisis as he had been out of job for the last three months. However, we are investigating the matter,” the SHO said.
Earlier on Tuesday, a class VIII student allegedly committed suicide in Lodipur area after her parents scolded her for skipping studies.
