Man haunted by creditors kills himself in Malad

A 52-year-old man allegedly committed suicide in Malad's Malvani area due to harassment by moneylenders, leaving behind a three-page suicide note.

The deceased, identified as Y.J. Khan has mentioned harassment from his moneylenders before hanging himself to death in the letter. Meanwhile, the Malwani Police have registered a case of abetment to suicide against three men mentioned in the note, police will investigate the matter, and no arrests have been made yet. Police said that the incident occurred on Friday where neighbours spotted him hanged, after which he was rushed to a civic-run hospital. He was declared dead due to asphyxiation.

The police searched for his place for clues; they discovered a threepage suicide note in the flat. The probe has revealed that Khan was to return the money to his moneylenders in connection with a property matter.

Police said that Khan had paid a part of the amount, and only Rs 9.5 lakh remained. "Khan mentioned in the note that the three men were continuously harassing him asking for money, despite him handing over the house ownership documents to them," an officer close to the investigation said.

Earlier, Khan was booked for forgery charges at Kurar police station, which was later transferred to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW). Malvani Police are investigating the case and interrogate the men mentioned in the suicide note to ascertain their roles in Khan's death.
