''He was found hanging from the ceiling when his colleagues returned home from work on Friday night. They had to break open the door after getting no response to repeated knocks and bell ringing,'' the official said.

''He had reportedly taken loans from two prominent private banks, including one which was of Rs 2 lakh. He was depressed over repayment. This, prima facie, seems to be the cause of his extreme act,'' the official added.
