Panchkula Suicide Case | Rs 20 Crore Debt Reportedly Behind Suicide Pact Of Family Of 7

Haryana Suicide Case | Rs 20 Crore Debt Reportedly Behind Suicide Pact Of Family Of 7 Praveen Mittal, who died in an alleged suicide pact, along with six of his family members, was reportedly under a huge debt, amounting to around Rs 20 crore, informed his cousin. Mr Mittal and family - elderly parents, wife and three young children - died in a mass suicide on Monday night. The family left behind a note, requesting that the last rites be performed by Mr Mittal's cousin Sandeep Agarwal, whom he spoke to five days ago. A few years ago, Mr Mittal had set up a scrap factory in Himachal Pradesh's Baddi, which was later seized by the bank due to increasing debt. One day, financially distressed, Mr Mittal left Panchkula and moved to Dehradun. There, he remained out of touch with the family, for about six years. At the time of move, Mr Mittal had a debt of about Rs 20 crore, said his cousin Sandeep Agarwal. Later, he moved to Kharar in Punjab, and then Pinjore in Haryana, where he stayed with his father-in-law, before returning to Panchkula a month ago.
