Reportedly, the wife was able to hear the ringing sound of his cell phone from inside the house.

She spotted that his husband committed suicide as his dead body was hanging from a yellow skipping rope with the concrete beam. The wife immediately reported the suicide of her husband at their Marabella house to the law protection department.

The police officers from the responsible police unit in the region took charge and arrived at the place with the designated medical officer. The place was blocked and the investigation was initiated. The dead body of Valmicki Nanan was examined and later removed from the site after the official pronouncement.
