Man dies by suicide over ‘domestic dispute’

Prayagraj: A 30-year-old man allegedly died by suicide in the Kaithana area late Thursday night, police said. Initial investigations suggest a domestic dispute may have led to the extreme step.

Police identified the deceased as Shahrukh alias Atiq. He was married to Gulfasa for about three years. The couple has a child.

According to police, relations between the couple had recently soured and the matter had also reached court. Atiq had filed a complaint at a paramarsh kendra (counselling centre) over the marital dispute, and his wife had returned to their home on Wednesday, a day before the incident.
