A 32-year-old man, who was working as a tailor at Zeal Boutique in Gurdev Nagar, committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan here this evening.
The deceased has been identified as Abid, alias Guddu. The reason behind his extreme step was not yet clear.

He committed suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling fan.
