Gurugram: A 25-year-old man allegedly hanged himself at his residence in Gurugram following a breakup with his girlfriend, police said on Wednesday. According to the police, his girlfriend has been booked for abetment to suicide, said police.
'Papa, Please forgive me'
Before allegedly hanging himself, Shivam Bhatnagar sent a suicide note to his friend Akash around 6:45 pm on Tuesday, intended for his father, saying he had given up on his life. “Papa, Please forgive me, I am ending my life,” he wrote in the note.

The victim's father, Sanjay, lodged a case at the City police station against the woman, identified as Shivam’s girlfriend, and her male friend mentioned in the note. Sanjay informed the police that Shivam had spoken with the woman from 2:30 pm to 5 pm, following which he allegedly took his own life.
