A man allegedly committed suicide on Monday by jumping before a moving train in Nuapada district after his wife went to Uttar Pradesh to work as a labourer.
According to reports, deceased Gulab Sabar (25) of Bhanpur village had decided to migrate to UP along with his wife Dahana (23) and their two-year-old son. The couple had planned to work there as labourers.
While Dahana and the baby boarded a train at the Khariar Road station in the district on Saturday last, Gulab failed to do so, for which he was under mental agony. On Monday afternoon, he telephoned his friend telling him about his decision of committing suicide. Moments later, he jumped in front of a goods train at the railway station and died on the spot. The Government Railway Police recovered the body.
