A disturbing incident has come to light from Alwar where a construction worker was driven to extreme despair following a dispute over unpaid wages. The victim alleged that a builder physically assaulted him and broke his tooth when he demanded his pending dues amounting to Rs 15 Lakh. Distressed by the confrontation, the young man wrote a suicide note and headed toward a railway track to end his life. Fortunately, his friends received timely information about his whereabouts, searched for him, and rescued him safely from the tracks. A formal police complaint has now been registered against the builder at the Sadar police station.
A Decade of Construction Work in Shalimar Area
The 37-year-old victim, Sunil Pandey, a resident of Mahtab Singh ka Nohra, has lodged a detailed police report against builder Mukesh Kumar Saini. Sunil has been working in the building construction sector around the Shalimar area for nearly ten years. He began working alongside the accused builder around four years ago. According to the victim, a sum of approximately Rs 15 Lakh is pending from the builder's side for the work he completed. He stated that he had been relentlessly chasing his payments for the past year and a half, but the builder repeatedly deflected his requests with false assurances.
Physical Assault and Suicide Note Discovery Near Railway Track
Mohit, a friend of Sunil, shared that they received word about the builder physically assaulting Sunil, prompting them to launch an immediate search. After considerable effort, they located Sunil near the railway tracks in possession of a suicide note. In the letter, Sunil detailed that he worked at Apana Ghar Shalimar for builder Mukesh Kumar Saini, who owed him Rs 15 Lakh for his labor but refused to clear the accounts. He noted that demanding his rightful money resulted in a physical altercation that humiliated him. The note further mentioned his worsening mental state and mounting pressure from market creditors demanding repayment, explicitly holding the builder responsible for his intended extreme step. The alertness of his friends ultimately prevented a tragedy.
Allegations of Intimidation During Police Complaint Process
Another friend of the victim, Akash, alleged that even as they escorted Sunil to the Sadar police station to file an official complaint, they continued to receive threats from the accused builder. According to his acquaintances, the combined burden of unpaid wages and the assault has left Sunil severely traumatized. They have urged law enforcement authorities to take strict legal action against the perpetrator and provide adequate protection to the victim and his supporters.
Police Register Case Under Relevant BNS Sections
The Sadar police station acted on Sunil Pandey's formal complaint and registered a case against builder Mukesh Kumar Saini on November 5. Authorities have invoked sections 115(2), 126(2), and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita to initiate a formal investigation. The inquiry encompasses the allegations of withheld payments, physical violence, and subsequent intimidation tactics directed at the complainant.
