New Delhi, May 12, 2016: A man was found hanging from a tree near the Parliament House and top government offices in Delhi this morning.
The man, in blue shirt, jeans and sneakers, was spotted hanging at a parking lot for the media right next to the Parliament building.
He was identified as Ram Dayal Verma, a 39-year-old from Madhya Pradesh’s Shivpuri town. The police have found a 30-page suicide note that, at first glance, indicates he was steeped in betting debt.
The area is the heavily-guarded Vijay Chowk, which is flanked by some of the most important government buildings in the capital besides the President’s House or Rashtrapati Bhawan.
