Punjab villager dies by suicide after 'financial fraud'

Phagwara, June 21 (UNI) A 40-year-old villager from Garha, near Phillaur died by suicide after allegedly being defrauded of a substantial sum by a private financier. The deceased, identified as Kashmiri Lal (40), reportedly consumed a poisonous substance on Friday afternoon and passed away later at DMC Hospital in Ludhiana.
Before taking the extreme step, Kashmiri Lal recorded a video and posted it on social media, in which he alleged that he had been mentally harassed and financially ruined by a financier who promised high returns and a better future.
In the video, he claimed that he had been misled into believing he could become wealthy quickly, and in pursuit of that dream, he ended up investing all his savings — amounting to Rs 22.75 lakh. He said the financier failed to return the money, leaving him in financial ruin and emotional despair.
