Due to non-payment of his salary, his wife left his home along with their children six years ago. Gobade was living in the hope that he will soon receive a grant. However, he took the extreme step as the government was delaying the process of issuing a GR in spite of knowing the fact the model code of conduct for the Assembly Elections (to be held most likely in October) will be announced soon.

Finally, on Thursday, he consumed poison and committed suicide.

His suicide has inflamed anger among non-grant school teachers in the district towards the government.
