A senior GRP officer told IANS: "A call was received around 6 a.m. that a man had committed suicide by jumping in front of the train near the Tilak Bridge station."
"The deceased was identified after a suicide note was recovered from his pocket," the officer said.
"In his suicide note, he has clearly mentioned that he was fed up of his life due to his health issues," the officer said.
"We then called the family of the deceased who identified the body," the officer added.
The GRP officials also said that according to his family, he feared he was suffering from stomach cancer as he was not responding to the medicines.
