KOLKATA: A 32-year-old fashion designer who had failed to secure a job after returning from New York committed suicide by hanging himself at his Motilal Nehru Road house in Lake police station area on Wednesday morning.

Writabrata Dutta in a suicide note held nobody responsible for his death. But he mentioned that his career and his parents' refusal to shift to the West had made him upset.

The victim studied fashion designing in New York. Last year, he joined a New York agency and returned to Kolkata after having lost his job. He had been depressed ever since, the victim's father Subrata Dutta , an engineer, told police.

"On Wednesday, he was supposed to visit a dentist. When his parents went to alert him about the appointment, they found no response from his room and informed police," said an investigator. Cops broke open the door to find him hanging from the ceiling fan with his mother's saree. His body was sent to SSKM Hospital for autopsy.

In the suicide note found in his room, Writabrata held nobody responsible. The victim mentioned that he had been insisting his parents to move with him to the West after selling off their property in Kolkata since he found no future in this country. He was upset after being denied a job on a par with his academic records, said joint commissioner (crime) Pallab Kanti Ghosh.

Writabrata's father Subrata conceded to investigators that his son had been depressed after coming back from New York. His applications to top agencies in Bengaluru and Mumbai yielded no result and he wanted to return to New York. His parents' refusal to shift base made him more depressed.

A fashion designer failing to persuade his parents to relocate in the west committed suicide by hanging himsef in his first floor room at his Motilal Nehru Road house in Lake police station area on Wednesday morning. Writabrata Dutta (32), who used to work as fashion designer with a New York agency, had lost his job. Coming back, he applied to some top fashion designing institute of India but failed to secure a job of his worth.

In suicide note, Dutta, an alumnus of a premier city school, suffered frustration with a little scope to further his career that took a flying start at New York where he had studied fashion designing. "On Wednesday, he was supposed to see a dentist as he was suffering from the decayed tooth. But when his parents went to alert him about the appointment, they found no response from inside," said an investigator.

Police were infomed. Police broke into the room and found Writabrata Dutta hanging from the ceiling fan with his mother's saree. His body was recovered and sent to SSKM Hospital for post-mortem. Police retrieved a note where he held no one responsible for his death. He mentioned that he had been insisting that his parents also move with him selling off their properties in Kolkata as he found no future in this country. He was upset after he was denied a job commensurating his academic track-records, said joint commissioner (crime) Pallab Kanti Ghosh.

His father, a reputed engineer with an expertise in bridge and flyover, Subrata Dutta told police that Writabrata was a person with strong likes and dislikes. He had gone to New York in 2012 and joined an agency there. But he lost that job too. He was very depressed ever since. He came back and applied to various agencies in Bangaluru and Mumbai. But he apparently failed to secure a job. He was thinking of going back to New York to try his luck there once more.

He apparently insisted that his parents also accompany him in the west after selling off their house and other properties here. But they refused to toe his line. This made him even more depressed.
