Jamshedpur, June 4: A pall of gloom descended over the Anand Vihar Duplex locality in Gour Basti under Mango police station area on Wednesday morning, following the shocking suicide of a young man.

The deceased, identified as Abhishek Kumar Sinha (33), was an employee at a private bank and had been married only six months ago.

According to initial reports, Abhishek was found hanging in his room by family members early Wednesday. He was immediately rushed to MGM Hospital, where doctors declared him dead upon arrival. The police have taken possession of the body and sent it for postmortem while initiating a detailed investigation.

Family sources revealed that Abhishek had a heated argument with his wife late Tuesday night. A few hours after the dispute, he reportedly took the extreme step. The couple, who had tied the knot just half a year ago, were living in a rented accommodation at Anand Vihar. His wife hails from Uliyan, Kadma.

Abhishek was the elder of two brothers and was considered the pillar of his family. His sudden demise has left his parents and younger brother inconsolable. Neighbours described him as an affable and gentle individual who was never known to be in conflict with anyone. The news of his untimely death has left the entire neighbourhood in disbelief.

Upon receiving information, a team from Mango police station arrived at the scene and began a preliminary inquiry. While police have acknowledged the possibility of domestic conflict, no suicide note was recovered from the scene. The exact cause of death will be confirmed after the postmortem report.

“This is a deeply unfortunate incident. Prima facie, it appears to be a case of suicide. We are questioning the wife and family members and examining the deceased’s phone and personal belongings,” said a senior officer at Mango police station.

After the completion of the postmortem, the body will be handed over to the bereaved family. Abhishek’s last rites are scheduled to take place on Thursday at the Swarnarekha Ghat in Sakchi, where a large gathering of friends and relatives is expected to pay their final respects.
