Etah man dies by suicide over sister's wedding expenses
Etah (UP) (PTI): A 30-year-old man allegedly died by suicide here due to financial stress over his sister's wedding expenses, police said on Thursday.
The incident occurred in Fatehpur Mafi village under the Marhara police station area when the victim, identified as Satish Kumar, hanged himself at his residence while other family members were in the fields harvesting wheat.
According to police and family members, preparations were underway for the wedding of Satish's sister on April 19, and the household was busy with arrangements.
His father, Rakesh Kumar, had been busy distributing wedding cards.
Shyam Pal said his brother Satish took the extreme step because he was mentally disturbed due to severe financial stress from wedding expenses.
Satish had been married for about eight years and is survived by his wife and four minor children.
His father said Satish had a habit of consuming alcohol.
After receiving information, Marhara police reached the spot and sent the body for post-mortem examination after completing inquest proceedings.
