UP BLO Breaks Down in Last Video Before Suicide, Allegedly Over SIR Pressure: ‘Bachon Ka Khayal Rakhna’
A heartbreaking incident from Uttar Pradesh’s Moradabad has once again spotlighted the immense pressure faced by Booth Level Officers (BLOs). Sarvesh Singh, a 46-year-old teacher assigned to election duty, was found dead at his home, his death allegedly linked to the mounting stress of the Special Intensive Review (SIR) of voter lists.
Moments before taking the extreme step, Singh recorded an emotional video that has now surfaced online. In the clip, he breaks down while admitting he couldn’t finish the assigned SIR work. He apologises to his family, saying he is “going far from their world,” and pleads with his mother and sister to look after his four young daughters.
Singh reveals he hadn’t slept for 20 days due to the workload. “I am in deep distress. I haven’t been able to sleep for the last 20 days. I have four young daughters. Others are able to complete the work, but I am not,” he says, sobbing uncontrollably. He also firmly states that no one should be blamed for his decision and requests that his family not be questioned.
As investigations continue, the recurring deaths raise urgent questions about work conditions, mental health support, and the burden placed on frontline election workers.
