Siliguri, 10th February: A youth in Siliguri has committed suicide due to debt from online gaming. The individual who passed away has been identified as 20-year-old Tushar Roy, an employee of an online food delivery service.
Tushar had been married to a woman, named Riya Sarkar, approximately one year ago. The couple resided in a rented home in the Samar Nagar neighborhood. In relation to the incident, the deceased’s wife, Riya Sarkar, explained that she had been at her niece’s birthday celebration all day. Upon returning home in the evening, she discovered the door was locked. Despite calling out several times, when her husband did not respond, she approached her neighbors to help her break down the door.
However, upon entering the house, they discovered Tushar’s lifeless body hanging from the ceiling fan. Riya mentioned that her husband had developed a habit of playing online games, which led him to lose a significant amount of money. However, she stated that she didn’t understand why he took such a drastic step.
On the other hand, Tushar’s mother blamed her daughter-in-law, Riya, for his death. She claimed that since their marriage, her son had been unhappy. Tushar’s addiction to online gaming had put him deep in debt, and, according to her, his wife frequently troubled him, which ultimately led him to take his own life.
