19-year-old youth dies by suicide

A 19-year-old youth of Jaipura village, who left his studies in between, ended his life yesterday evening by hanging himself from ceiling of the room at his home. He took the extreme step due to depression caused by family dispute. No suicide note was recovered from the spot. The deceased was identified as Chand Kumar.

He was the youngest of the three siblings. He left his studies in ninth standard and stayed indoors most of the time.

Doraha SHO Akash Dutt said the deceased was very sensitive. “The boy seemed to be actually fed up with regular quarrels between his father and mother. His mother lived separately from the family. While one of his brothers went to school, the other was on job. Chand always stayed back as he had dropped his studies in between and did not wish to continue. His body has been handed over to relatives after a post-mortem examination. A case under Section 194 of the BNS has been registered in this connection.”
