JHANSI : Two senior executives of a private finance company were booked for abetment to suicide after a 42-year-old employee, Tarun Saxena , hanged himself at his house Sunday in UP's Jhansi, alleging harassment by his seniors in a suicide note.

Based on a complaint by Tarun's wife Megha Saxena, an FIR was filed on Monday against the firm's regional manager Prabhakar Mishra and national manager Vaibhav Saxena, under BNS sections 108 (abetment to suicide), 352 (intentional insult), and 351(2) (criminal intimidation).

In her complaint, Megha alleged that her husband, an area manager with the firm, "endured relentless mental harassment, torture and public humiliation from his superiors for failing to meet loan recovery collection targets". She alleged that the duo "persistently threatened to terminate his employment, causing Tarun to experience severe stress and sleeplessness for past 45 days".

Tarun left a detailed note chronicling the humiliation he faced. Constant pressure had driven him to contemplate suicide on multiple occasions, before ultimately succumbing to the pressure, Megha alleged.
