Reeling under Children's education Debt, MP doctor couple commits suicide
Bhopal: In a shocking incident, a middle-aged doctor couple allegedly committed suicide at their house in Madhya Pradesh's Sagar district on Saturday due to the harassment they endured from private banks and financial institutions after failing to repay loans worth crores of rupees.
According to the police, the doctor committed suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling and his wife who is also a doctor was found dead lying on the bed. Prima facie, it appears that the woman had died after consuming or injecting herself with a poisonous substance as an empty string and cotton were found on the bed.
Although the exact cause of their death would be known after the post-mortem reports, a two-page suicide note was found in the room, in which the couple mentioned that they were worried about an outstanding debt.
The couple was in outstanding debt as they took loans for their children's education which at a point they were unable to pay following which the private banks and the financial institutions pressurised them.
