Durg, Sep 16 (PTI) A man suffering from a heart ailment allegedly committed suicide in Durg in Chhattisgarh after an argument with organisers of a Ganesh pandal that was playing loud music, a police official said on Monday.
The incident took place on Sunday morning in Hathkhoj area under Purani Bhilai police station limits, he said.
“As per preliminary information, Dhannu Lal Sahu (55) and his kin objected to loud music at a Ganpati pandal near his house on Saturday night. Despite being told that Sahu suffered from a heart ailment, the pandal organisers did not turn down the volume. Sahu called police helpline 112 and a team arrived there and got the organisers to switch off the music,” the official said.
“However, the tussle continued between Sahu and the organisers, with both sides reaching the police station but not filing a complaint. On Sunday morning, he was found hanging from the ceiling of his house. We have found a note purportedly written by Sahu accusing a pandal organiser of harassing him. We are verifying its authenticity,” he said.
An accidental death report was registered and further investigation is underway, the official added. PTI COR TKP BNM
