West Bengal TMC Minister Ashish Banerjee Ends Life in Humiliation

Ashish Banerjee was an important leader in a political party called the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal, India.

He used to be a minister and even helped run the state assembly.

Sadly, this Sunday morning he was found dead at his party's office.

He had tied a nylon rope around his neck and hurt himself.

He left a note that said he was very sad about going into politics.

He wrote that people said bad things about him even though he had no connection to corruption.

He told his family not to become politicians like him.

The head of his party, Mamata Banerjee, said she was very sad and that he had been falsely accused and put under relentless pressure.

Another leader said people from his own party might have made him sad, not the rival party.

This story shows how mean words and pressure can hurt people very deeply.
