37-year-old Meerut man dies by suicide
Earlier in June, a 37-year-old man in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut district allegedly died by suicide after he was duped in a Rs 6 lakh job scam, said police. The deceased was identified as Manmohan Singh alias Monu, who was a resident of the Mawana Khurd village.
Manmohan's body was found hanging at his residence in the morning, which was later sent for post-mortem. Upon arriving at the scene, the police recovered his body, with the forensic team collecting evidence from the spot.
A video was also recovered, which the police said Manmohan recorded shortly before his death, explaining the circumstances that forced him to take the extreme step. In the video, the 37-year-old said he was approached by a man and his brothers from the Nangli Isha village. He was asked to provide Rs 6 lakh to them on the pretext of a job.
Manmohan said he arranged the amount after collecting it from several people, but neither the job was provided to him, nor the amount was returned. He said he was a victim of a 'huge conspiracy' and his life was ruined, which has forced him to take his life.
