Gurugram A 28-year-old man allegedly hanged himself at his Sector 5 residence on Monday evening. Police said they did not find any suicide note at the spot.
According to the police, the incident took place around 6.30pm, when the man’s family had gone to attend a relative’s birthday party in Bhim Nagar. The police said he was alone in his room on the terrace and his father was asleep in a room downstairs at the time of the incident. A family member, upon returning from the party, found the man hanging from a ceiling fan in his room.
A police official privy to the investigation, requesting anonymity, said that a preliminary probe found that the man was under severe stress as he was trying to overcome his narcotic addictions. “His family said that he was completing his education and trying to find a job. No suicide note has been recovered,” the police official said.
The police have initiated inquest proceedings under Section 174 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. His body was handed over to the family after an autopsy on Monday, the police said.
