Patna: A 23-year-old construction worker died by suicide in Rajiv Nagar area of the state capital on Friday.
The deceased was identified as Ajay Kumar Singh, a native of Paharpur Bazar under Simri Bakhtiyarpur police station area of Saharsa district.
Ajay resided alone in a rented room on Road no. 19 of the Rajiv Nagar locality.
SDPO (law and order-II), Mohibullah Ansari, said: “Police broke the door to enter his room, where Ajay was found hanging from the ceiling. His uncle, Chandeshwar Sahni, is also a construction worker. Ajay used to work with his uncle at different sites. Prima facie, it appears that Ajay died by suicide as the room was bolted from inside. His broken cellphone was recovered in the room.”
Police said his family members were informed about the incident and the body was sent to Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) for the postmortem.
“An unnatural death (UD) case was registered in the matter. The reason behind the suicide is unclear, but it appears that Ajay was either depressed over a love affair or shortage of money. He might have had some argument with a woman after which he might have broken his cellphone. Further investigation is underway,” Ansari added.
Police said Ajay had been working in Patna for the past two years. His father lived in Uttar Pradesh and had married twice after his mother passed away, they added.
