A 25-year-old wrestler allegedly committed suicide by consuming poison in Delhi’s Bindapur area and uploaded a video on social media citing family issues as the reason, police said on Wednesday.

Police received information regarding the incident around 1 am on Tuesday stating that a person has consumed poison, a senior police officer said.

The victim was at his in-laws’ house. He was taken to a hospital where he subsequently died, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) M Harsha Vardhan said.

Inquest proceedings under section 174 CrPC are under process and the purported video uploaded by him on Facebook is also being examined. Circumstances around the incident are being looked into, he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
