Jobless man hangs self over 'paper leak' in UP's Kannauj
Kannauj (UP), Feb 23: A 28-year-old jobless man burned all his education certificates and hanged himself in his house in the Bhoodpurwa area here, police said on Friday.
Brijesh Pal had recently appeared for a police recruitment exam and was upset over the paper leak, his family members said. On Thursday, he killed himself.
In a suicide note he left behind, Pal blamed joblessness behind his move to kill himself.
"Now I am upset. What is the use of degrees when one cannot get a job," he wrote in the note, police said.
"I have betrayed you," he said to his family, and asked them to marry off his sister "in a very good manner."
Pal's father is in a private job in Delhi and has four bigha land in the village. He was the only son of his parents.
Sadar Police Station SHO Vishnu Kant Tiwari said Pal's body has been sent for post mortem.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav attacked the BJP government in the wake of the incident saying it's a "dream" finding a job under its regime.
"BJP, which deploys every trick to come into power, turns away in the name of providing jobs. It is a very sad news that upset with the tragedy of joblessness, a young man from Kannauj, Brajesh Pal, committed suicide by hanging himself," Yadav said on X.
"Before doing this he burned all his degrees. Giving up life is not a solution. Only struggle finds the way to a solution. Expecting a job in the BJP government is a dream," he added.
ये एक बेहद दुखद ख़बर है कि बेरोज़गारी की त्रासदी से निराश होकर कन्नौज में एक युवा बृजेश पाल ने फांसी लगाकर जान दे दी और और ऐसा करने से पहले उसने अपनी सारी डिग्रियां जला डाली।

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
