A 70-year-old man was found hanging from the ceiling fan of his room on the third floor of a five-storey building in Chandni Chowk on Friday morning.

Nepal Das stayed with his family comprising wife, son and daughter-in-law at the rented property and worked in a shop.

Police have found a voice message in which Das had purportedly said he was killing himself unable to pay EMIs of multiple loans.

“We are trying to find out whether the pandemic had made it difficult for him to repay the loans,” said a police officer.
