Jobless man hangs self over ‘paper leak’

In a suicide note he left behind, Pal blamed joblessness behind his move.

“Now I am upset. What is the use of degrees when one cannot get a job,” he wrote in the note, police said.

“I have betrayed you,” he said to his family, and asked them to marry off his sister “in a good manner.” Pal’s father is in a private job in Delhi and has some land in the village. He was the only son of his parents.

Sadar Police Station SHO Vishnu Kant Tiwari said Pal’s body has been sent for post-mortem.

Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav attacked the BJP government in the wake of the incident saying finding a job under its rule would remain a “dream”. “BJP, which deploys every trick to come into power, turns away in the name of providing jobs. Upset with the tragedy of joblessness, a young man from Kannauj, Brajesh Pal, committed suicide,” Yadav said on X.
