A Vasai resident, whose catering business suffered badly due to the lockdown, died by suicide on Saturday. His family and friends said he had been under immense stress recently. This is the second incident in the past few days. On Thursday, a businessman in Virar killed himself at his restaurant.

Shahrukh Ali Khan, 35, consumed poison on Saturday night, they said. “Khan was alone at home when he consumed poison. After the poison started to react in his body, he cried for help. Neighbours rushed to his house and took him to hospital,” said Feroz Azmi, a friend of the deceased.
