Due to coronavirus lockdown, people have faced a lot of problems like losing one’s job, loss in business, stuck at places, including wedding dates postponed. Many people have understood the problem and supported the government in controlling the disease by following corona guidelines. But many didn’t understand the consequences of the disease and also violated the guidelines, even some have committed suicide or crime for petty reasons.

One such shocking case has come to light from Jharkhand where a 30-year-old man has committed suicide. The incident took place on Sunday at his house at Vishwakarma Nagar in Jamshedpur’s Mango suburb.

Sanjit's father told that his son’s marriage was fixed with a girl from Bihar’s Aurangabad and they were supposed to marry on April 25. Due to the imposition of nationwide lockdown, his wedding date was postponed which affected him badly.
