A 23-year-old man reportedly took his own life in West Bengal’s Bankura district following India’s loss to Australia in the World Cup final.
The tragic incident happened around 11 pm on Sunday near the Cinema Hall in the Beliatore police station area, as per the police statement.
The deceased, identified as Rahul Lohar, used to work at a clothing store in the area and he had taken a day off on Sunday to watch the final match but, devastated by India’s loss to Australia, tragically died by suicide in his room, according to his brother-in-law Uttam Sur.
Notably, India, which remained undefeated and dominant throughout the group stage of the ODI World Cup 2023, went on to suffer a heartbreaking six-wicket defeat against Australia on Sunday, November 19, at Wankhede Stadium.
