New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): There was a commotion in the Saket Court premises of the country's capital Delhi, when an employee posted there committed suicide by jumping from the top floor of the building. This incident which happened in broad daylight created panic among the lawyers, judges and parties present in the court premises. The deceased has been identified as Harish Singh, who was working as Ahlmad (clerk) in Saket Court and used to assist the judges in maintaining the court records. It is being told that Harish Singh was 60 percent disabled.

Immediately after the incident, police and other court employees rushed to the scene, but Harish Singh had died tragically on the spot due to the fall from a height. Police recovered a suicide note near the body, which clarified the reasons behind this suicide.
