A middle-aged businessman allegedly committed suicide at his residence in Northeast Delhi, police said today.
Surinder Verma (36) was found lying in a pool of blood with a bullet-like injury on his head in the bathroom of his house around 9 AM yesterday, they said
"He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was declared brought dead. We have recovered a suicide note in which Verma has said that he is ending his life as he was under a lot debt," a police official said.
Verma dealt in artificial jewellery and had incurred heavy losses in his business. He also owed money to his landlord and some other acquaintances.
