A senior official at a public-sector bank died by suicide late Thursday night inside his bank branch, police have confirmed. The tragedy, believed to be driven by work- stress, occurred around 10 pm when the man, in his late forties, was serving out his notice period.

Notice Period Marked by Pressure

According to the Baramati police, the chief manager had resigned on July 11 citing health concerns and excessive workload. On the night of the incident, he asked staff to leave after banking hours, ensuring the branch was closed. The security guard departed around 9:30 pm. Police indicated he had requested a rope from a colleague before staying back alone.

Disturbing Discovery by Wife

The man’s wife became concerned when he failed to return home and did not respond to calls. Arriving at the still-lit branch around midnight, she raised an alarm. Staff arrived and opened the premises to find him hanging from the ceiling—a scene later captured on CCTV.

Suicide Note Cites Work Pressure

The police found a note at the scene that blamed overwhelming job stress for his death. The note did not mention a specific individual so it appears that the burden of responsibilities was a factor. Investigators reported my man was under medical treatment at the time of death.

The authorities have registered a case, and they are conducting an investigation into the circumstances that lead to this tragic event.
