A retired Army man, after withdrawing money from the bank where he worked as a security guard, shot himself dead with his licensed revolver, leaving a suicide note and a bag with Rs 1 lakh, police said on Friday.
According to the police, the three-line suicide note read: "Ram Ram (Greetings) to all, those who were unhappy with me, be happy now."
Ashok Kumar (55), a resident of Teekli village, had been a security guard at Sarv Haryana Gramin Bank in South City-2 under the sector 50 police station area for about 7-8 years, but was unemployed for more than a year.
Initial investigation revealed that Kumar reached the bank at around 10 am on Thursday after lying to his wife that he had received a job offer and was going for an interview, the police said.
Kumar shot himself with his licensed .32-bore revolver at around 4.30 pm.
The weapon was recovered from the spot with five cartridges and an empty shell, they said.
A senior investigating officer said that they are also determining any harassment angle.
Kumar is survived by his wife and two sons. The elder son is a constable in the Haryana Police, the officer added. -- PTI
