Ranchi, Dec 1 (PTI) A 69-year-old restaurant owner allegedly died by suicide at his residence here this morning, police said.
The deceased has been identified as Shankar Narayan P Badri, a native of Kerala, who lived with his family in the Jagatpuram area under the Kanke police station limits.
Prakash Rajak, Officer-in-Charge of Kanke Police Station, said, “The victim hanged himself inside a room in his house from the ceiling fan using a wire. Preliminary investigation suggests he was in depression due to the burden of a large loan.” The exact loan amount is yet to be determined.
