Mumbai, June 20: A 42-year-old labour contractor from Iraniwadi in Kandivli (W) ended his life recently as he did not have enough work for the last few days and his family was facing a financial crunch.
The deceased, Jayesh Karelia, was staying with his wife and son in a joint family and used to take up labour contracts for repairs. However, the lack of work had upset him, the police said. Recently, when his wife had asked him for Rs 700 for their son’s school expenses, Karelia did not have the money.
On Thursday morning, when Karelia’s son knocked on the bedroom door, he found it locked and informed his mother about it. His mother was shocked to find him hanging from the ceiling fan, the police said.
