Upset over his wife not returning from her maternal home on Karwa Chauth, a 24-year-old man allegedly died by suicide by hanging himself here, police said on Thursday.
Pramod Kumar, a resident of Guga village in the Bhuta police station area here, allegedly hanged himself in a room of his house on Wednesday night, they said. Police said that the man's body has been sent for post-mortem.
Pramod's wife Preeti had gone to her maternal home two months ago, his grandfather Baburam said.

Baburam said that family members broke down the door of Pramod's room on Thursday morning and found him hanging.
