A 30-year-old social worker posted a suicide note on Facebook before consuming poison in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
In his post, Chandan Singh Verma claimed that he was being harassed by his wife Kalpana Verma, who was demanding Rs 20 lakh for giving him a divorce. They got married in 2014.
When his friends and relatives saw the post on Wednesday, they immediately started calling him, but he did not answer. Some of them even reached his house and found it locked from inside.
The police were informed and Chandan was found lying unconscious on his bed.
