Unit test error with mocha: Timeout of 20000ms exceeded

I'm getting a timeout error when I try to send the contract to Ganache. My code is as follows,

const assert = require('assert');
const ganache = require('ganache-cli');
const Web3 = require('web3');
const web3 = new Web3(ganache.provider());
const {interface,bytecode} = require('../compile');

let accounts;
let inbox;

beforeEach(async() => {
accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
inbox = await new web3.eth.Contract(JSON.parse(interface))
  .deploy({data: bytecode,arguments:['Hi There !'] })
  .send({from: accounts[0], gas:'1000000'});
});

describe("inbox", () => {
it('deploys a contract', () => {
    console.log(inbox);
 })
})

When I comment out the send method (provided below), the program runs without any issues. However, adding it back introduces the timeout error. No matter howmuch time I assign for mocha timeout, I still get the same error.

.send({from: accounts[0], gas:'1000000'});

There are similar posts regarding timeout such as listed below, Error: Timeout of 2000ms exceeded. For async tests and hooks. Unit test with mocha and chai

Mocha testing with promises: Error: Timeout of 2000ms exceeded

Mocha exceeding 2000ms timeout when returning a promise

None of the above solutions worked for me (mostly talking about increasing the timeout). Additionally, I downgraded web3 library as proposed in a different forum. However, it didn't work either.

You can find the exact issue posted by someone else at a different forum. Apparently, that question has not received any potential answers as well.

I installed truffle v5.0.24 and started working on the truffle console which solved all the issues.
