Mohammad Shakeel committed suicide around midnight and the post-mortem on his body was carried out today, a senior police officer said, adding that the body has been handed over to family members.
Shakeel's family claimed that he had been visiting a Bank of Baroda branch nearby for the past few days to deposit EMI for a loan he had taken, but he couldn't deposit the money owing to long queues in the aftermath of demonetisation.
"Shakeel was a scrap dealer and was heavily in debt. He had borrowed money from many people and wasn't being able to pay them back. He was depressed over it and committed suicide," the officer said.
