Ludhiana, Nov. 6 -- A shopkeeper from Bhamian Road has gone missing after posting a video note on his social media account, claiming that he is going to end his life. He accused a man of duping him of Rs.8 lakh. Police have launched a search to trace him.

The missing man runs a sanitaryware shop in the Bhamian area. According to police, he uploaded the note on Tuesday and has been untraceable since. Preliminary investigation suggests he had entered into a deal to purchase a shop through an acquaintance. He allegedly paid Rs.8 lakh in advance, but neither was the shop transferred in his name nor was his money returned. The delay in settlement reportedly left him upset and financially strained.
