Door broken open, Family finds him hanging
According to information, Anurag’s wife and son had stepped out for some work. When they returned, they found the door locked from the inside. Despite repeated knocking and ringing the bell, there was no response.
The maintenance staff was called, and the door was eventually broken open. Inside, the family was confronted with a devastating scene. Anurag was found hanging from the ceiling fan. His wife fainted on the spot, while his son was left in deep shock.
Emotional appeal in a suicide note
Police recovered a suicide note from the scene, which has left many deeply moved. In the note, Anurag apologised to his family and friends.
In a particularly heartbreaking line, he made a request to one of his close friends: “After my death, please continue paying the EMI of my flat so that my family does not become homeless.”
The note highlights the severe emotional and financial distress he may have been facing.
Badminton kit rope used for hanging
Officials from Sector 113 Police Station, Noida, stated that prima facie, the case appears to be a suicide. It is reported that Anurag had brought a badminton kit with him and used a plastic rope or cord from the kit to prepare the noose.
