Suspended from a Tata Motors Ltd's ancillary unit, a 20-year-old youth, Prabhat Kumar, committed suicide by setting himself on fire near his house at Kailash Nagar under Burmamines police station area.
Prabhat was rushed to Tata Main Hospital's burn care unit by neighbours, but he died within two hours. His body was today sent for post-mortem at the MGM Medical College in Dimna .
"We are in state of shock. Prabhat was under depression for the past three years during which he had attempted on his life twice. But, recent suspension of his job from the private company, Imperial Auto Industries Ltd, at Govindpur prompted to end his life," said a close relative.
The youth was alone at home despite his father and step-mother. After losing his job, he had become depressed and ultimately ended his life. Prabhat did his schooling from BPM High School at Bumamines in 2017 and first year intermediate from ABM College in Golmuri before joining NTTF.
