A 74-year-old man allegedly committed suicide today by shooting himself at his home in southeast Delhi's Sundar Nagar area, the police said.
The man, identified as Yadav Nath Bhargava, was suffering from a cough problem for the last six years and was in depression because of his illness, the police said.
