Greater Noida: A 35-year-old man died by suicide after jumping from the 16th floor of his apartment in a Greater Noida housing society on Tuesday evening, police said.
The man was allegedly suffering from depression due to prolonged unemployment. He had worked in the IT sector, police said, adding that his wife was also from the same field.
Police said the man’s family contacted them. “He jumped from the 16th floor of the society. He had been jobless for some time and there were some family issues,” said Pawan Kumar, assistant commissioner of police.
