바카라He spoke to us about arrangements and went back. When he didn바카라t arrive at the venue people went to his room and he was found hanging from his ceiling. He died by suicide,바카라 a senior official associated with tournament organisers told PTI.
바카라We have come to know that he was very depressed for the past four months. The reason for it is not known and we don't know if he was undergoing any counselling. Whether it is a death by suicide can only be ascertained once the local police authorities complete their investigations,바카라 the source said.

Mohan worked extensively with former BCCI chief curator Daljit Singh in Mohali before moving to the UAE in the early 2000s. Daljit, who served Indian cricket for 22 years, was shocked after learning about Mohan바카라s demise.
바카라He was a bright kid when he came to me. A very talented and hardworking person. He hailed from Garhwal and I also remember him as a family man. After he went to the UAE, he used to come visit every time he was in the country but I had not seen him for a while. Gone too soon and it is really tragic. I offer my condolences to the family,바카라 Daljit said.
