New User I understand your point. Let's suppose he was guilty of corruption and saw some solace with his ongoing mental torture by taking his own life. Lets suppose (with very little and remote possibility) that he is totally innocent and lived a very frugal life totally dependent on his "sarkari" talab. This would have put him in a vey difficult. he would have faced many difficulies and made lots of compromise with his own and families' life. He would have put limits in his social engagements and maintained only a narrow circle of friends etc etc... Despite social norms (corruption is norm), he tried to keep his honesty and maintained his integrity and kept his sanity intact (against the unethical and corrupt workd that surrounded him). What I mean is, he maintained a very disciplined, principled and dignified life. To such a principled and disciplined person, if the govt. or whom so ever tries to taint his well maintained (self) image, the psychological affect would be severe, in this case fatal. He basically suffered severe severe depression and became suicidal and took his own life. This is just a possibilty, even though its remote. I was myself in the govt. job and its was highly impossible to maintain the basics of life with the salary alone. So your(s) , mine assumption of corrupt govt. officials are not baseless.
