PNB Bank Manager Suicide Note & Reason of Death
In the suicide note, the deceased told the reason behind the suicide. It has been mentioned in it that for a few days he was worried about the non-payment of loan in the bank. At the time of posting in Ghaziabad, some people had got loans sanctioned from him on fake land papers. He was under a lot of stress due to all this. Patna Police has registered a case of abetment to suicide in the matter.
From 2013 to 2017, he was posted as manager in PNB in Sector 22 Noida. During this, a person named Viren Bhardwaj had taken a loan by mortgaging the wrong documents. After this Ghaziabad Indirapuram councilor Kapil Tyagi and Anand lodged an FIR against him in the local police station. Along with this, Kapil Tyagi was pressurizing to give money under NPA. Because of this he was very upset. He has also written in the note that my seniors in the bank will forgive me. I have not made any mistake intentionally. Along with this, he has also apologized to his mother, wife, brother and children.
Very bad.Seems his involvement is only sanction of loan…but fraud documents –he could not identify.. But for that committing Suicide is very bad.He could analyze it to higher officials & Union leaders.Very bad.
higher officials
I was also formerly bank employee, got voluntary retirement, in June -2020 mainly due to the fact of unforeseen and expected pressure from political level on advances. No body at higher official level for support. A branch manager has to move with self and his family only. During political pressure if any he can’ t even speak to his neighbour even. Suicide ills fall on the family.
Banks, especially public sector banks are under extreme staff shortage. Even 2-3 members, including Branch Maner are working hard to manage and serve the public. No recruitment after any one retires.
One Question always remain heavy with the branch manager or immediate officer will always be: where to report the grievance, when no body lissons?
Mr Prasad is right terming suicide as “VERY BAD”. However
An ominous shadow of disgrace lurking over one’s psyche threatening one’s public image, is terrifying and scary scenario.
And suicide, I think, is an outcome of a moment’s bad-chice.
I m sure he fell alone and abandoned. Certainly his officers/boyses gaye him a short shrift.
Such lackadaisical attitude, finally, made his children fatherless amd mother a window.
47 is too young an age ti die.
My condolences ti family especially his children and his wife ( Now a widow)
