On October 20, a 24-year-old delivery executive died by suicide in east Delhi after allegedly consuming a poisonous substance, according to police. The victim had recorded a video detailing his assault from two men over a torn currency note just a day prior to his death, officials said. The incident allegedly took place on October 4 when the victim refused to accept a torn currency note from two residents of East Vinod Nagar, police added.
He was reportedly assaulted by the suspects at around 11:03 pm on October 4, leading to his subsequent admission to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital on October 5, where he was found to have ingested a poisonous substance. Two suspects, Rakesh alias Bunti (30) and Rampal Singh (65), were arrested and subsequently identified by the victim, police reported.
An FIR was registered at Kalyanpuri police station the same day, and the charge of abetment of suicide was recently added to the case following the victim's death.
