'Live-in partner's taunts added to stress': Unemployed man dies by suicide in Noida

A 27-year-old man allegedly died by suicide in his apartment in Noida on Friday evening. He left behind a note detailing his reasons for taking this extreme step and stated that he was under stress for not being able to acquire a job and was being taunted by his live-in partner for the same.

According to a report by NDTV, in the note the man stated his live-in partner's repeated comments of him sitting at home and eating all day had negative impacts on his psyche and added to his stress. He also stated he was tired of the repeated taunts she made towards him and his employment situation.

He went on to say that he was taking this extreme step because of the factors he mentioned, however, he did not blame anyone for it.

His body was found hanging from a ceiling fan by his live-in partner on Friday evening.

Mayank Chandel hailed from Jalalabad in Uttar Pradesh. During his time there, he befriended a woman from Banda. They studied together and had been in a live-in relationship for the past four years. The couple lived near Shaurya Banquet Hall in Noida's Sector 73. The woman was employed at a private company.

After discovering his body at the apartment, she informed the police. A team from the Sector 113 police station sent the body for a post-mortem and is carrying out an investigation. Chandel's family has also been informed of the incident.

This incident comes on the heels of a 34-year-old techie from Bengaluru allegedly died by suicide after leaving a 23-page note accusing his wife of harassment.
