An auto driver in Patna killed himself on Saturday evening after failing to find a steady source of income or provide food for his family amid covid lockdown.
The 25-year-old, who was a resident of Shahpur in the outskirts of the city, had struggled to earn money from driving his auto rickshaw. The auto had been purchased on loan and nearly three months of lockdown made the installment paying impossible.
Tragically the entire family had also not been allotted a ration card.
However, after news of his death reached the authorities, the Patna District Magistrate, Kumar Ravi, rushed to the grieving family's home on Monday with 25 kg of rice and wheat
The young man is survived by his three children.
