Although there is no clear justification to why Robert Clive committed suicide, but here are some of the closest attempts to validate his step:

After 1772, his vast wealth and his actions were criticized by most of Britain. The allegations were very extreme and was creating an uproar.

He had a deep and dark history of depression.

He was addicted to opium.

Hence it can be concluded that on 22 November 1774 he committed suicide at his residence in London by stabbing himself with a pen-knife because he was deeply depressed and the immediate reaction was excruciating pain resulting from illness which Clive attempted to alleviate with opium ...
