A 70-year-old cancer patient allegedly committed suicide this morning by shooting in head with his licenced gun, police said.

Ranbir Singh, a resident of Bhagwannagar, was suffering from cancer for the last one-and-a-half years. He was undergoing treatment at PGI Rohtak Hospital, said ASI Ram Niwas.

Nobody was in the house when the incident happened. Police have found a suicide note. Singh has written in the note that he was disturbed by his illness and his family has been facing problem because of him. This apparently prompted him to kill himself, police said.

Police have recorded the statement of Ranbir's son and a probe is on into the matter, the ASI said. The body has been sent for post-mortem.
