A 57-year-old employee of the Maharashtra Excise Department tragically took his own life in Mumbai, reportedly due to relentless harassment by moneylenders. The man, identified as Shahu Sadashiv Mane, succumbed to mounting pressure over unpaid debts following financial downturns from his business.

The incident occurred at the GTB Nagar railway station, where Mane was discovered unconscious on the tracks. Police have charged three individuals, including a couple, with abetment of suicide. Mane's family revealed that he borrowed Rs 3.5 lakh from Manisha Dethe with high interest, leading to severe financial strain.

The situation worsened when harassment by the moneylenders intensified, compelling Mane to seek additional loans. Even after significant payments, Mane faced threats and continued maltreatment. Overwhelmed, Mane took his own life by stepping in front of a train. In response, authorities are pursuing charges against those implicated.
