The deceased was identified as Pawan Singh of Bhora Kalan village, which is 30km from Gurgaon. His body was found hanging from the ceiling fan of his room at 6pm by his brother Karan Singh.

The police recovered a suicide note which blamed two persons — Parveen and Bunty — for abetting Pawan to commit suicide. After completing the post-mortem examination, the body was handed over to the family. Pawan is survived by his mother and three brothers, the police said.

“The suicide note said that Parveen had borrowed Rs5,000 from him, which he failed to return. It also mentioned the Bunty also harassed him,” said sub-inspector Parveen Kumar, the investigation officer.

“A case has been registered against them. We are investigating it,” Kumar said.
