Man Found Hanging: Suicide or Murder in Nalanda?

In Nalanda, Bihar, a married man was discovered hanging from a transformer pole on Monday, sparking a police investigation into his death. The deceased, identified as Dharmendra Paswan, a resident of Bara Bigha village, was allegedly murdered over an extramarital affair, according to his distraught family.

Paswan, married since 2014 and father to two sons, had returned to his village on August 21 after working in Chennai. His family alleges that he met a woman from a neighboring village on Sunday afternoon and that his body was later hung to appear as a suicide. They claim his feet were touching the ground, casting doubt on the suicide theory.

The Noorsarai SHO stated that while preliminary findings suggest death by hanging, a murder complaint has been filed. The police are thoroughly investigating the incident from both suicide and murder perspectives. The final determination of the cause of death hinges on the upcoming autopsy report.
