In a tragic incident, a 25-year-old man from Janjgir-Champa, Chhattisgarh, ended his life after allegedly receiving threats from a man pretending to be a police officer, authorities reported on Sunday.

The victim, Sanat Kumar Kashyap, employed at a truck showroom workshop, reportedly hanged himself in his rented residence on Friday. Kashyap shared a video with friends, detailing his distress after being contacted by someone posing as a Pantora police outpost officer.
