Bank of Baroda PO commits suicide due to extreme work pressure, Suicide Letter goes Viral
A Probationary Officer (PO) of Bank of Baroda has allegedly died by suicide after jumping in front of a train. The deceased officer, who was working as a Direct Recruitment Officer (DRO) at Bank of Baroda, reportedly left a suicide note in which he made serious allegations against the bank’s management.
The officer alleged that work-related stress at Bank of Baroda was extremely high. He further claimed that he was unable to resign from his job due to the bank’s ₹5 lakh bond policy. Under the policy, an officer is required to pay ₹5 lakh if he leaves the job within a specified period. He alleged that the bond policy forced him to continue working despite the intense work pressure and dissatisfaction with the job.
