Married UP Man Falls Into Debt While ‘Fulfilling Lover’s Needs’, Dies; Son Pleads, ‘Papa, Wake Up’
A tragic incident has emerged from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, where a man allegedly ended his life by hanging himself at his home in Haveliya village, Sarnath. The deceased, Munna Lal Maurya, reportedly faced personal and financial stress, including tensions arising from an alleged relationship with a woman.
According to Amar Ujala, Munna Lal, aged 38, was the younger of two brothers. His elder brother, Rajendra Maurya, stated that Munna Lal committed suicide on Thursday. The tragedy came to light when his wife noticed unusual signs at home and raised the alarm. Local police were informed immediately and reached the spot to start their investigation.
Details from the Wife
Munna Lal’s wife, Chanchala, told Live Hindustan that there had been no fights between them. She said that whenever he left the house in the morning, she would close the door. On Thursday, after cooking, she went to close the door but found it already shut with slippers nearby. Concerned, she began searching the rooms and noticed that a room window was closed unusually. Upon opening the door, she discovered Munna Lal hanging.
Family Background and Personal Struggles
Munna Lal worked as a silver jewellery maker at a neighbour’s house where a woman named Basanti lives. He reportedly spent most of his time there, eating and working, and returned home only to sleep. His elder brother claimed Munna Lal had taken several loans, allegedly to support Basanti. Reports stated that Basanti’s husband, Keshav Patel, had died seven years ago. These personal and financial pressures added tension within the family.
Munna Lal allegedly visited Basanti’s house earlier that morning before returning home and committing suicide.
Impact on the Family
The incident left his wife in shock; she reportedly fainted upon seeing her husband. Their 9-year-old son, Ujjwal, was seen crying and clinging to his father, repeatedly saying, “Papa, uth jao (Papa, please wake up).” Neighbours and relatives rushed to console the family.
Forensic Team and Investigation
According to Live Hindustan, the forensic team visited the house, collected evidence, and carried out an initial investigation. The police seized the body and sent it for post-mortem to determine the exact cause of death. The investigation is ongoing.
