A 32-year-old man committed suicide here by jumping in front of a train allegedly after being harassed by two sons of a former Uttar Pradesh lawmaker, police said Thursday.
Rajesh Singh took the extreme step on Wednesday evening allegedly after being harassed by two jewellers -- Sanjay Swaroop Bansal and Ashutosh Bansal -- who are sons of former MLA from Muzaffarnagar, Vishnu Swaroop, police said.
A case of abetment to suicide was registered against the two accused on the basis of a complaint lodged by the brother of the deceased, they said.
According to the FIR, Singh had given Rs 7 lakh to the accused as an advance to rent a shop but was denied possession, police said.
Police suspect that Singh might have committed suicide after being under stress over the issue.
