A 53-year-old man, a resident of Acharya Puri colony, allegedly committed suicide on Thursday. His wife had tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday evening.
His body was found hanging from a ceiling fan in his house today morning.
As the news reached health authorities, a team reached the colony and sealed it declaring it containment zone.
No suicide note was recovered while the son of the deceased told police that his father was depressed since evening.
According to the police, the wife of the deceased identified as Satbir Saini was admitted in a private hospital since the last four days as she was suffering from stomach ulcer.
It was only yesterday late evening when she was found COVID-19 positive and rushed to a Covid hospital in isolation.
Police sources said prima facie it appears that depression over his wife’s Covid status made him take the extreme step though they were investigating further.
The son of the deceased is reportedly working as pharmacist.
“We are looking into the matter from all angles. Possibility of depression due to his wife found corona positive seems to be prominent now. The post-mortem is on,” said Inspector Jasvir Chahal, SHO of sector 14 police station.
