SRINAGAR: A 47-year-old man allegedly committed suicide here, officials said on Saturday, as a purported video of the deceased and a suicide note accused police of harassment.
The concerned station house officer (SHO) was attached and an inquiry was ordered into the incident.
Rajesh Kumar was found hanging from a ceiling fan at his Janipur residence in the Jammu city late on Friday evening, the officials said.
They said the family of the deceased staged a protest outside the Janipur police station after a suicide note was allegedly found from the deceased’s possession, claiming that he was ending his life due to “police harassment”.
Later, a video clip, which the deceased had allegedly shot before taking the extreme step, also went viral, claiming that he was fed up with his life as the police were harassing him even though he was acquitted by a court of law in a “false case” registered against him more than 19 years ago.
