An auto-rickshaw driver allegedly committed suicide by hanging from the celiing fan of his residence in Kartar Nagar here, police said today.
The body of Sunil Kumar (40) was found hanging from his rented residence in Kartar Nagar here today morning, police said.
After a fight, Sunil had forced his wife Sonia and his daughter out of the house after which they went to her parents' home, police said.
When Sonia returned home this morning, she found the door locked, and when she did not get any response despite repeated knocking, she approached her neighbours and later the police was informed, who broke open the door and found Sunil hanging.
Sonia told the police that Sunil used to come home drunk and beat her up.
Police said the body has been sent for post mortem and the matter is being investigated.
