Noida, December 14: A 27-year-old engineer, Mayank Chandel, allegedly died by suicide in Noida due to mental stress caused by unemployment and repeated taunts from his live-in partner. Originally from Jalalabad in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, Chandel had been in a relationship with a woman from Banda for seven years. The couple had been living together in Noida’s Sector 73 for four years.
