Three separate cases of suicide were reported from different parts of Gurugram over the past two days, with police indicating financial and mental stress as key factors in the incidents. Investigations are currently underway in all three cases.
23-year-old man found dead in Palam Vihar
In the first case, a 23-year-old man died by suicide on Sunday night in the Om Vihar area of Palam Vihar. The deceased, identified as Bhura, was originally from Morena district in Madhya Pradesh and lived alone in a rented accommodation.
According to police, Bhura worked as a confectioner and was scheduled to get married in March 2026. Preliminary inquiry suggests he was under severe financial stress related to marriage expenses.
“He had been worried about arranging money for the wedding and had contacted relatives and acquaintances seeking financial help in the days leading up to his death,” a police officer said.
Police teams reached the spot after receiving information and called in forensic science laboratory and fingerprint experts to examine the scene. No suicide note was recovered. The body was sent for post-mortem examination and later handed over to the family after legal formalities. Statements of relatives have been recorded.
