Ballia (UP), May 5 (PTI) A 25-year-old coaching teacher allegedly died by suicide by hanging himself in the Ubhaon police station area here, police said on Tuesday.

The deceased, identified as Manish Sharma, was allegedly under severe mental stress due to financial hardships and his inability to fund his sister’s upcoming wedding.

According to police sources, Sharma, a resident of Bithua Mor locality in Bilthra Road town, worked at a local coaching centre.

He allegedly took the extreme step on Monday evening by hanging himself from an iron angle inside the coaching institute premises.

Upon receiving information, the police reached the spot and sent the body for a post-mortem examination on Tuesday.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (Rasra), Alok Gupta, said that preliminary investigations suggest Sharma was struggling with a financial crisis.

“He had to arrange money for his sister’s marriage, but his income from teaching was not sufficient to meet the expenses. Distressed over this, he allegedly ended his life due to depression,” the deputy SP added. PTI CORR ABN ABN MPL MPL
