He returned home after some time and took the extreme step after sending his wife to market to buy vegetables. He had told customers, who were at his chamber, that he would be back in 10 minutes while leaving the bank. He is survived by his wife and three-year-old child.

Jog police have registered a case and the investigation is on.
