Tragedy struck in Bankura, West Bengal, as a 23-year-old cricket aficionado, identified as Rahul Lohar, allegedly died by suicide on Sunday night. The incident occurred in the vicinity of Beliatore Cinema Hall, where Lohar resided. Known for his fervent passion for cricket, Lohar had taken leave to witness the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup final.

Babu Uttam Sur, Lohar's son-in-law, provided insights into the heartbreaking event, revealing that Lohar, unable to cope with India's defeat, used a veil to take his own life at home when no one else was present.
Local authorities, upon being notified, promptly responded to the scene. Lohar's body was recovered and subsequently sent for post-mortem examination. Additional Superintendent of Police of Bankura, Siddharth Dorjee, stated that an investigation is underway, categorizing the incident as an unnatural death.
