In a tragic incident, Upendra, a finance manager at axis bank, ended his life by hanging himself from a tree in the Azad Nagar area of Indore. The 45-year-old had been suffering from a serious illness for quite some time, which his family believes contributed to his emotional distress and eventual decision to take his own life.
The Day of the Incident
On the morning of the incident, Upendra left his house, informing his wife that he would return later. His wife had no reason to suspect anything unusual. However, a few hours later, the family received a devastating phone call from the police. The authorities informed them that Upendra had been found hanging from an acacia tree in a deserted area, approximately one kilometer away from their home. This secluded location was near Akshay Dham Colony, where he was discovered by passersby.
Family’s Response and Police Involvement
The police arrived on the scene and conducted a search of Upendra’s pockets, finding identification that led them to contact his family. The family was immediately notified of the tragedy, and officers continued their investigation to understand what had led to this outcome. Despite thoroughly searching the scene and Upendra’s home, no suicide note was found, leaving his exact reasons unclear. The Azad Nagar police have confirmed that no foul play is suspected in this case. The family was left in shock, unable to comprehend the sudden and heartbreaking loss of their loved one.
Struggles with Health and Emotional Distress
According to the family, Upendra had been dealing with a serious illness for a long time. While he was undergoing medical treatment, his health problems often weighed heavily on his mind, leading him to experience significant emotional and mental distress. His family revealed that he was particularly worried about his future and the impact of his illness, which often caused him to feel isolated and hopeless despite their support.
Upendra’s wife and children had been doing their best to provide care and encouragement during his difficult time. However, the ongoing stress of his illness became overwhelming for him, and his mental health deteriorated as a result.
No Clear Signs of Suicide
Family members say that there were no immediate signs indicating that Upendra was contemplating taking such an extreme step. He had been quietly dealing with his struggles, and while they knew he was anxious about his illness, they were unaware of the depth of his despair. There were no direct warnings or farewell messages before he left the house on the day of his death.
The police, after searching his room at home, confirmed that no suicide note or personal writings provided further insight into his decision. This lack of communication left the family grappling with unanswered questions, heightening their grief and confusion.
Emotional Impact on the Family
Upendra’s family is devastated by his sudden loss. His wife, in particular, is in shock as she recalls the morning he left home with a simple promise of returning later, unaware it would be the last time she would see him alive. The children are also struggling to process the reality of their father’s death, with the pain compounded by the fact that they were unable to help him through his mental anguish.
The entire neighborhood, along with the local community, has expressed sorrow and disbelief at the news of Upendra’s death. Many people knew him as a hardworking man and a devoted father who had been fighting through his illness with strength and dignity.
Conclusion
This tragic event highlights the emotional toll that prolonged illnesses can have on an individual, especially when feelings of helplessness and isolation become overwhelming. Upendra’s death serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking mental health support during times of prolonged physical suffering. The loss has left a deep void in the lives of his loved ones, and the community mourns with them as they navigate this difficult time. The police have closed the case as a suicide and have offered their condolences to the family, urging anyone facing similar distress to seek help before it’s too late.

To The Regional Head/Co-Chairman (DLRAC) Central Bank of India, Regional Office Balua Tal, Motihari – 845401
In a tragic incident that has sparked concerns over work-related stress, a bank employee from Lucknow passed away on Tuesday, reportedly due to excessive work pressure. The woman, Sadaf Fatima, was employed at HDFC Bank and held the position of Additional Deputy Vice-President at the Vibuti Khand branch in Gomtinagar.
According to reports, Sadaf collapsed from her chair while working in the office on September 24. Despite being rushed to the hospital, she was declared dead upon arrival. Her body was later sent for a postmortem examination. Colleagues revealed that Sadaf had been under significant work pressure. In the initial examination, it seems she experienced a cardiac arrest.
This incident follows a similar case in Pune, where another young professional lost her life due to work-related stress. The death of Sadaf Fatima has brought attention to the increasing pressure faced by employees in various sectors and has raised serious questions about working conditions in the country.
Earlier in June, HDFC bank manager named Rajesh Kumar Shinde died of a sudden heart attack at his workplace. He was the Agri Regional Manager at the Kabrai Branch of HDFC Bank in Mahoba and lived in Binvar village, Hamirpur. The incident happened on June 19 while Rajesh was working on his laptop in the office.
Political Reactions to the Incident
The tragic death has drawn reactions from political leaders. Samajwadi Party chief, Akhilesh Yadav, expressed his concerns through a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). He described the incident as “worrying” and linked it to the broader issue of economic pressure in India.
Yadav emphasized that both companies and government departments need to seriously reflect on the impact of work pressure on employees. He pointed out that the true progress of a country is not only measured by economic or service growth but by how mentally healthy, free, and happy its people are.
In his post, he also criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and accused the government’s economic policies of failing. Yadav argued that due to these policies, companies are struggling to sustain their businesses and, as a result, are overburdening fewer employees with a heavier workload. He held the BJP government accountable for such sudden deaths and highlighted the mental toll that current work environments have on people. Yadav called for immediate and meaningful reforms to prevent further tragedies.
Earlier Case of Work Stress in Pune
This is not an isolated case. Just a few months ago, a 26-year-old chartered accountant, Anna Sebastian Perayil, passed away due to excessive work stress, only four months after joining a firm in Pune. Anna’s mother had written to the company, alleging that her daughter was overwhelmed by heavy workloads and long hours. However, the firm denied these claims.
Anna Sebastian
Union Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has since stated that Anna’s case is under investigation, indicating that the government is looking into the growing concerns surrounding work-related stress.
Conclusion
These incidents highlight a disturbing trend of work-related stress and its fatal consequences. As discussions around employee well-being grow, there is a pressing need for both companies and governments to reassess the working conditions that are putting undue pressure on employees across the country. Implementing meaningful changes to improve work-life balance and mental health support will be crucial in preventing such tragedies in the future
