NAGPUR: Separated from his wife and young son following marital differences after a love marriage, a 26-year-old man allegedly died by suicide by hanging himself at his rented residence in the Lakadganj area on Thursday.

The deceased has been identified as Mayur Sunil Girdkar (26), who was living on rent in Juni Mangalwari, at the residence of Vaibhav Umaji Chandekar.

According to the police report, Mayur had married for love and was living separately with his wife, Komal. However, differences had reportedly developed between the couple over the past few days, following which his wife left with their son to stay at her parents’ house.

Police said Mayur was reportedly under mental stress due to separation from his wife and child. He allegedly used a nylon rope to hang himself from an iron hook attached to the ceiling fan in his rented room.

Based on a complaint lodged by his father, Sunil Girdkar (57), Lakadganj police registered an accidental death case under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).

Further investigation is underway.
