Rajkot: A 46-year-old businessman, who was forced to shut his furniture production business due to losses suffered because of the Covid-19 induced lockdown last year, allegedly ended his life by suicide at his residence in Rajkot on Sunday night. In a long suicide note the deceased wrote about why he took the extreme step and also blamed the government for the dire straits the economy is in at present.
Virendra Parmar, a resident of Devpara on Kothariya Road in Rajkot, was found hanging in his room on Sunday evening. As the deceased locked himself in his room for too long, his wife went upstairs to check on him. When the knocks went unanswered, she shouted for help. After the door was broke open the family found Parmar hanging.
