PATIALA: Three months after writing a letter to the then Punjab CM and seeking permission to end his life, a 36-year-old clerk, identified as Devinder Singh, committed suicide on Tuesday by hanging himself in the office of Baba Hira Singh Bhathal Institute of Engineering & Technology (BHSBIET), Lehragaga, Sangrur.
Devinder, who attempted suicide two years ago for not getting salary, had written a detailed letter to the CM in January this year and described his mental agony and hand-to-mouth existence for not being paid salary for over 2.5 years.
