    It is unbelievable that PU college Principal, Sudesh would take such a drastic step. He must have been in some terrible pressure from the college management. But suicide was not a solution to this problem. No pressure is on his educated wife and children. RIP and heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones.

    Who knows what was going through his mind. He should have been little courageous by sharing his problems at least with his wife. May his soul rest in peace and May the almighty strengthen his family members to bear the loss of their loved ones.
