Sucha Singh committed suicide in Jatpura Mohalla in Sirhind where he had come to meet his close relative Kuldeep Singh.

Kuldeep Singh found his body hanging in a room. After Sucha Singh's death, a case was registered against Gagandeep and Paramjit Kaur on the statement of Kuldeep.
 

Police also recovered a suicide note reportedly written by Sucha Singh in which he blamed his wife and mother-in-law for his death.
