Narender, in his suicide note, blamed nine persons, including four judicial officers, for financially exploiting him, which he mentioned as the reason behind his taking the extreme step. The police found a carbon copy of the note while the original handwritten one was not found near the body, said sources.

The victim gave details of financial transactions which he did for shopping on the part of the officers and mentioned that he had to spend from his pocket for the shopping for these officers, who never returned the money to him.

“Main ja raha hun. Main thak chukka hun….kuch bhrasht…ki vajah se mera jeevan nasht ho gaya hai. Mere maut ke zimmedar hai…” the suicide note started. It went on to give details of his financial exploitation and urged a judicial official to bring justice to him and his family.
