A 53-year-old man allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree in southwest Delhi’s Dwarka area after being accused by a colleague of sexual harassment, the police said on Tuesday.
The incident came to the fore on July 21. The deceased was working with an insurance company in Haryana’s Panipat, they said. A day before the alleged suicide, the man’s colleague in her complaint accused him of sexually harassing her, police said. The complainant has claimed that on his way home to Dwarka, the man used to drop her at Faridabad. She alleged that he had tried to molest her in his car, they said.
Reportedly, he had been humiliated by a senior woman colleague for the incident and this seems to have put him under distress, the police said. The police are probing the case.
