Etah (UP), May 11 (PTI) A 27-year-old man allegedly attempted suicide by hanging himself in Uttar Pradesh’s Etah district due to mental stress arising from fear of being implicated in a false case again, police said on Sunday.
The incident took place in Nagla Bhoj village under Bagwala police station limits.
According to police and family, Subhash, who worked at a brick kiln to support his family, allegedly hanged himself inside a room at his house on Sunday afternoon.
His family members rushed him to the Etah Medical College after bringing him down from the noose. Doctors later referred him to Agra due to his critical condition, police said.
Following the incident, the victim’s wife, Baijanti, accused a woman from the village of mentally harassing her husband.
Family members alleged that around a month ago, the woman had lodged a complaint against Subhash, following which the police had initiated preventive action for breach of peace.
They further claimed that the woman had recently threatened to implicate him in another case, due to which he had been under severe mental stress.
Sakit Circle Officer Nitesh Garg said the matter had come to notice and a detailed inquiry would be conducted to ensure justice to the victim.
Bagwala Station House Officer O P Singh said no written complaint had been received so far.
“Necessary action will be taken after investigation once a complaint is submitted,” he said. PTI COR KIS APL APL
