A 49-year-old plastic trader ended his life by hanging himself from the ceiling fan at his residence in Dharampura here on Wednesday.
The deceased has been identified as Vicky Gaba.
The victim’s kin said he was under depression due to the recent ban by the government on the single-use plastic. Now, his business had almost closed and he was under a huge debt.
