Surendra, a 35‑year‑old painter, was found hanging in a residential lane of ChhatriPura, Indore, in a case that local authorities are treating as a suicide linked to financial distress. The young man reportedly left a note indicating that he could not bear the pressure of a debt amounting to around ₹40,000.
His relatives allege that a woman in the neighbourhood repeatedly threatened and harassed him for the repayment, creating an environment of intimidation that culminated in his tragic decision.
