Delhi Metro employee kisses ID card twice, hangs himself on Facebook Live video

New Delhi : A Delhi Metro Rail Corporation employee on Sunday committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented house in New Delhi, streaming the act live on Facebook, said police.

The victim, Shubhankar Chakraborty (27), hailed from North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, they said.

No suicide note has been recovered from him. He was seen hanging himself with a hook of the ceiling fan and a plastic wire around his neck.

The Facebook live stream purportedly showed him climbing atop a cooler, wearing the DMRC uniform. He looked into the camera a couple of times, kissed his company identity card twice before taking his life.

“He had joined DMRC in June and was a staffer in the Electrical and Maintenance Department,” a source said.
