On the night of the incident, Raj had told his family that he would be going to the temple to pray. The unsuspecting watchman did not take notice of Raj until he went to the temple door to close it. It was then when the watchman found Raj in a pool of his own blood. He was rushed to the hospital where he was declared dead upon arrival. According to police, Raj had shot himself in the head and the weapon with which he committed the act was recovered.
In the suicide note recovered by the police, the deceased had mentioned that no one should be blamed for his death. He had also mentioned that he is taking the extreme step due to the unfavorable conditions prevailing for the men of this country.
"The suicide note said that he was sick and tired of seeing biased laws which victimise men. The note also said that he had procured the weapon on his own and his death should not be blamed on anyone," said a senior police officer.
According to the officer the note further elaborated on the issues the deceased was having with his wife and his family. "There seems to be some discord between the victim and his family according to the note which we recovered. We are questioning the family but nothing concrete has come up which could clear as to what led him to take the extreme step. The only reason highlighted many times in the note is that the deceased found the laws protecting women security too discriminatory," the officer said.
