Thursday was his last day at work.He came to Mantralaya with his family members Friday, claiming that he was forced to quit only because he was due for a promotion.He got into an argument with the principal secretary of the labour department and then tried to drink phenyl, the police official said.In February this year, a 45-year-old man committed suicide by jumping from the fifth floor of Mantralaya, after which the state government set up a safety net covering the open space on the first floor of the seven-storey building.In June, a man hailing from Dhule in north Maharashtra attempted suicide at the entrance of Mantralaya while seeking probe in a scheduled caste recruitment drive.
