Satya Prakash was a Jaipur-based jeweller. Satyaprakash was living in Jaipur with his wife Roma and his two daughters Tishu and Gauri.

According to the police, Satyaprakash was alone in the house on Tuesday morning. His wife had left for her office. One of his daughters was in the school while the other one was playing at a neighbour’s house. Satyaprakash wrote a suicide note and hanged himself from the ceiling fan using a saree.

A neighbour saw Satyaprakash hanging and informed the police.

In the suicide note, the deceased mentioned that he had lost the will to live. He was unable to bear the pressure that the debt had put him under. He had taken a loan of Rs 2 crore from the bank, but couldn’t repay it as the business was not good recently.
