Two people hanged themselves after India’s defeat in the World Cup
The final match of the Cricket World Cup was lost to India. The dream of the World Cup has been shattered not only for Team India but for the whole of India. But losing the World Cup shocked some people so much that two people in the country even committed suicide. There have been reports that two people allegedly committed suicide in West Bengal’s Bankura and Odisha’s Jajpur after the defeat against Australia.

Police sources said that a youth named Rahul Lohar (23) committed suicide near a cinema hall in Bellitor police station area of Bankora around 11 pm on Sunday night. According to him, Rahul’s relative Uttam Sur said that he used to work in a cloth shop in the area and had taken leave to watch the final match on Sunday.
