The death of Azim Nazir of Uranbuwa Boniyar who had been working as a fitness trainer at a gym centre at Azad Gunj for over a decade had triggered massive protests by his relatives and Uri residents who claimed that he was murdered.
Following the protests, the police had set up a special investigation team to probe his death.
A police spokesman said the deceased had committed suicide after breakup with a girl from Rajasthan with whom he was in a relationship.
“It was revealed during the course of investigation that the deceased was in relationship with a girl (name withheld) from Rajasthan and the couple had recently parted way which the deceased was unable to come to terms with.
