PATNA: A tractor spare parts trader allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan in his flat at Terrace Gardenia apartment on Ashiana-Digha Road under the Rajiv Nagar police station area in Patna on Sunday.
SHO of Rajiv Nagar police station Nishant Kumar said the deceased was identified as Rishavdeep Rishu (32).
“He hanged himself using his wife’s scarf. No suicide note was recovered from the spot. Since his wife, Anjali Srivastava, is still shell-shocked, police have not recorded her statement yet,” he said.
The SHO added preliminary investigations revealed that several traders were to clear Rishu’s payment. ‘After the trader locked himself in his bedroom, his wife raised an alarm. The neighbours broke open the door only to find Rishu hanging,” the SHO said.
Rishu’s father Gyandeep Prasad said his son was a computer engineer and earlier worked with IT firms .
