The deceased, a resident of Sector 38, had retired as a pharmacist from GMSH, Sector 16, in 2016. Police said on Thursday evening, he visited the gurdwara and climbed onto the roof of a backside room before jumping off. As the rear side of the gurdwara was deserted, the incident went unnoticed at the time.

It was only on Friday morning that devotees spotted him and alerted the police. A suicide note was recovered from his car parked near the gurdwara, said police.

According to the deceased’s family, he had recently complained of severe pain in his eyes, which left him distressed and worried about his patients.
