6 months after marriage, man kills self

NEW DELHI: A 25-year-old man allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from the window grille inside his room in southwest Delhi’s Nangloi area on Saturday night.

Subhash, who worked as a safai karamchari with the municipal corporation, got married six months ago. His family told the police that he was not upset over anything and there was no reason for him to end his life.

Two years ago, Subhash’s brother was also found hanging from the same widow grille in the same room. “Subhash’s brother also committed suicide in the same room. Why he did it is still unclear as there was no suicide note. The family said that they have no idea, why he did it,” a senior police officer said. “They said they were shocked to find Subhash hanging from the same window,” he added.

Subhash, reportedly went to his room after dinner and locked it from inside. The next morning when he did not come out for breakfast till 9 am, his parents went and checked to find him hanging. No suicide note was recovered from the spot.

“His wife had gone to her parents house when he committed suicide. His family said that he was not upset or depressed about anything and was in fact happy in his married life and was also planning a child. His family said that Subhash had even spoken to her mother for over an hour, discussing his future, before he retired to his room to sleep,” an investigator said.

Police said that they will be questioning his wife in the case. “We have accessed the call detail records of Subhash along with his chats to ascertain why he took the extreme step. We have initiated an inquiry into the matter and the investigation is on. A detailed statement of Subhash’s family and his wife has also been recorded. His body has been sent for a postmortem examination to identify the cause of death,” a senior police officer said.
