Gurugram, May 22

A caterer, hailing from Rajasthan, committed suicide on Friday claiming that he was left penniless during the lockdown. According to the suicide note, he had lent around Rs 12 lakh to four colleagues who too could not return it and thus he was left with no money to buy food. The police have booked four persons for abetment of suicide.

According to the police, the deceased was identified as Sachin Sharma (38) of Jaipur, who was working as a caterer in Gurugram for the last some years. He was living with his family in Laxman Vihar, Phase 2 and committed suicide in his house.

On being informed, a police team reached the spot and recovered a suicide note in which he had alleged his four colleagues of not returning Rs 12 lakh that he had lent to them and that he was left with no other option than to end his life.

Saroj, wife of the deceased, told the police that her husband was depressed as all business was stalled and his colleagues were also not able to return his money.

As per the complaint of Saroj, an FIR has been registered against four persons under Sections 306 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
