New Delhi: A
51-year-old campaign officer working with the union Ministry of
Information and Broadcasting was found hanging from a ceiling fan
inside his house Friday afternoon, police said adding that Jagjit
Singh Bindra was reportedly depressed over "some official
problems".
The incident took place around 2 p.m. Friday at Pocket-A in east
Delhi's Mayur Vihar Phase II. Bindra was found hanging in his
third floor flat by his family members who informed police about
it.
"Bindra had been struggling with depression over some official
problems for a long time. He has been taking medicine to control
his depression. That might be the reason behind his extreme step,"
said an investigating official.
"Despite being a senior official, he recently got promotion after
26 years of service but his pay grade was not satisfactory in
comparison to his post. That was the main reason behind his
depression," one of the victim's relatives, who did not wish to be
named, told IANS.
The relative also informed that presently Bindra was working with
the Directorate of Advertising and Visual Publicity (DAVP) under
the information and broadcasting ministry in Delhi and a few days
ago, he had been transferred to Dehradun in Uttarakhand.
Bindra is survived by his wife, a 21-year-old son Pawandeep Singh
and a daughter Harsha, 17.
