SHAHJAHANPUR: A 35-year-old man allegedly ended his life by hanging after he learnt that a false account had been opened in his name in a private bank in 2015 and was being used to perpetrate fraud worth approximately Rs 1 crore.

Bank personnel allegedly forced him to deposit the funds to settle his debts, and he received no assistance from the bank manager. His wife has filed a formal complaint with the Khuthar police station, but the police have yet to file a FIR.

The man, identified as Ramashish Kumar, was a mason who lived in Khuthar town in Shahjahanpur district with his wife, Pramila Devi, and daughter Kajal. His wife claims that two bank employees came to her house on December 20 and informed her husband about a bank account in his name that had been operational since 2015.

"They said he owed several lakhs in outstanding debts," she said, adding that her husband sought to persuade the bank's recovery officials that he had never opened an account. "My husband was insulted by the recovery agent at a market on Tuesday, and he threatened to put him in jail. He was visibly concerned, claiming that the overdue sum was close to a crore. He committed suicide because he was worried on Wednesday, and I hold the bank officials accountable for his death "Pramila Devi expressed herself.
