A 43-year-old resident of Darjeeling's Siliguri posted a video of him committing suicide live on Facebook on Saturday.
According to a story in the Hindustan Times, Arindam Dutta was suffering from blood cancer and was not interested in living.
Five of his Facebook friends who saw the Facebook live persuaded not to take the extreme step through comments.
They even tried calling him but he did not receive their call.
Before killing himself, he had called his childhood friend, Mohammed Alam, but he couldn't receive his call.
"As I could not take his call, he called up my wife and told her that he is not interested in living," Alam said to Hindustan Times.
Dutta was depressed after he found out he was suffering from blood cancer and his friends had assured him that they will contribute for his treatment.
