Bishnu Nidhi Lohani, a local, said Pariyar family was tense when it couldn´t arrange funds for the daughter, who had passed her SLC on her re-exam from Jana Kalyan Secondary School.[break] "A few days ago, Sarswati´s mother had requested me to help them so that she could go to college," Lohani said. "They were under stress when they failed to collect money required for the daughter´s education," he said.
According to Lohani, although they earlier used to do sew clothes for livelihood, in recent times, they had started working as porters. Of the five children, only Sarswati and their youngest son study in school. "Most of the family members were working for daily wages. They are extremely poor," Lohani said.
The deceased´s body, hung on a tree at a short distance from their home, was found on Saturday morning. The deceased had dined with the family on Friday evening and had gone to sleep. However, on Friday morning when he wasn´t seen anywhere, family members looked for him only to find him hanging from a tree.
Police also think that Dhan Bahadur committed suicide due to poverty. Kushal Purush Dhakal, district police inspector also said what the locals had to say -- it probably was due to poverty that Dhan Bahadur committed suicide.
"Although I´ve heard that he committed suicide for not being able to support his daughter´s education, I am not sure," Dhakal said. "We have speculated that he might have committed suicide due to poverty."
After post-mortem, police submitted the body to the family.
