A 30-year-old man in West Bengal’s Howrah district allegedly died by suicide on Tuesday, reportedly after being distressed over errors in his identity document during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, police said.

The deceased, identified as Jahir Mal, a resident of Khalisani in Uluberia, was found hanging at his home in the morning. According to officers, his family said he had been under severe stress after discovering a spelling mistake in one of his official documents.

“He had visited several local offices in recent weeks to get the error corrected but failed to do so. Jahir feared that the mistake might cause complications in verifying his citizenship or voter eligibility during the SIR process,” the officer said.
