PUNE: A 26-year-old man allegedly died by suicide after shooting himself with a country-made pistol in a hotel room in Kharadi.

Police personnel reached the hotel and found him lying on the floor with a pistol in his hand. His father and brother were called to the spot and identified him. The Kharadi police have registered an accidental death report (ADR), and further investigation is underway.
He checked into a hotel in Kharadi on October 27 and booked a room on the third floor, with his check-out scheduled for October 29. Because his marriage was not getting fixed, “Prima facie, the man was unmarried and upset.
The victim worked as a contractual employee at a nationalised bank’s Koregaon Bhima branch, police said. He was also distressed after a woman he wanted to marry got married to someone else,” a police officer said.
