KATHMANDU, Nepal- Due to suppressed sexual desire and extramarital relation, fuelled by couples’ breakup due to foreign job, most people in the district have found to commit suicide, a study carried out by the District Police Office (DPO) Dolkha, located at 150 kilometer east of Capital Kathmandu, reveals.
The study shows that various social issues like foreign work; extreme poverty; tragic love affairs, loneliness and addict to alcohol, resulting to extramarital affairs and distrust of such relationship caused by separation of couples due to oversea job are the major causes behind self-annihilation.
