The wilaya of the region said in a statement that, since Friday, images of an alleged letter left by the individual concerned were posted in a misleading way, wherein he specified that he had killed himself because he did not receive support for households affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
Local and security authorities, who went to the scene of the incident after being alerted by the neighbors of the deceased, did not find any letter, as says the images shared on the web, the same source said.
Neither the person concerned nor anyone close to him has submitted a request stating that he is in need of assistance, or for temporary support meant for the informal sector's households affected by the new coronavirus, the statement added.
The competent authorities will be informed to open a judicial investigation to determine the persons and the parties who posted these images by attributing them in a deliberate manner to this suicide.
