A 26-year-old youth committed suicide in Vailankanni Church in south Delhi's Khan Market area, with his family claiming he was forced to take the step due to tension over some borrowed money, police said on Monday.
Police said Ruban was found hanging from a ceiling fan in one of the servant quarters on Friday evening. No suicide note was found at the spot.
"Ruban's mother raised an alarm after he didn't respond to door knocks. Some church employees later found Ruban hanging inside the room," Station House Officer Dileep Kumar told IANS.
Ruban's parents work in the church. He is survived by his wife and two minor sons.
