Debt and mental stress drive Raigarh man to suicide

Raigarh | Correspondent: In the Kotwali police station area of ​​Raigarh district, Chhattisgarh, a 35-year-old man, Dohan alias Sohan Dewangan, suffering from severe debt and mental stress, committed suicide by hanging himself.

The deceased, originally from Kotara Road, had been living with his wife at her in-laws' home in Bande Ali Fatmi Nagar Colony, near the Circuit House, for the past few months. They were married in 2022, but the couple had no children.

According to family members, Sohan had been mentally disturbed for some time, although he was unable to explain the exact cause of his distress. He would simply say that he had taken a loan from the market.

On Saturday afternoon, around 2:30 pm, when his wife returned home from teaching at the school in Jhalmala, she saw Sohan hanging from a ceiling fan with a rope.

In a panic, she immediately informed the police. The police team arrived at the scene, removed the body from the noose, and sent it for post-mortem.

During a search of the house, police found a four-page suicide note in which the young man described his mental state, writing that he was deeply depressed and unable to share his grief with anyone.

He also requested his loved ones not to cause any harm to his family after his death.

The police have registered a case and launched a thorough investigation.
