The victim, Rajeev Mehra, who was working as an upper division clerk, went to the sixth floor of the building on Wednesday and jumped off, they added.

Later, a paper-cutter was recovered from the spot and a suicide note was also found, they said.
In the note, he said that he was under financial stress and was not able to repay a loan of Rs 15 lakh, the police said.
