Indian driver commits suicide

Ras Al Khaimah Yet another man committed suicide by hanging himself to death on Sunday morning, reportedly due to financial woes, Gulf News has learnt. The victim, Gopinathan Manikuttan, 43, an Indian, was working as a driver with a rent-a-car company in Ras Al Khaimah. Using a lungi (long cloth tied at the waist), he hanged himself from a hook on the ceiling of his apartment in Julan area. Following an autopsy, police confirmed suicide to be the cause of death and the body was repatriated home last night. "Manikuttan is believed to have had some financial issues but we came to know this only after his death," Sreedharan Prasad, community welfare convener at Sevanam, a licensed charity organisation, said.
