A court staff member, Ahlmad Harish, died in an apparent suicide by jumping from a building inside the Saket court complex in Delhi on Friday. A suicide note was recovered, citing work pressure as the reason. Police have begun an investigation and are recording statements from witnesses and colleagues. In a separate incident, a 61-year-old litigant fighting a long-pending court battle over a property dispute died by suicide in the Shivajinagar court premises. The man, who was involved in a dispute over ancestral property, jumped from the third floor of the new building, leaving behind a handwritten note detailing his grievances. Both incidents have sparked outrage, with a protest held outside the Saket court demanding justice for Harish. The court staff and Bar Association are standing in solidarity with the deceased, calling for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
