Kerala Technician Found Dead in Bengaluru Apartment
A tragic incident has shaken the Bengaluru housing community as a 39-year-old technician from Kerala was discovered dead in his apartment. The man, who originally hailed from Thiruvananthapuram, was found deceased in the bathroom of the second-floor apartment he shared with two women flatmates.
Discovery of the Body and Immediate Aftermath
One of his female flatmates made the grim discovery at approximately 4:30 am on November 7, finding his body in the bathroom of their shared residence. The incident occurred in an apartment where the deceased had been living with two women described as friends.
The man had been working at a medical transcription company in Bengaluru for more than four years, establishing his career in the city before this unfortunate incident cut his life short. Following the discovery, one of the flatmates contacted the man's younger brother at 5 am on the same day, informing him that his brother had died by suicide.
Family Allegations and Police Case
The younger brother immediately traveled from Kerala to Bengaluru upon receiving the devastating news. He identified his brother's body at the St John's Hospital mortuary later that day. On November 8, the grieving brother filed an official complaint with the Bengaluru police, accusing the two women flatmates of abetment to suicide.
In his police statement, the brother revealed that through conversations with the two women, he learned about significant discord between them and his deceased brother. The conflict apparently stemmed from their personal relationships. According to the complaint, the deceased had been involved in a relationship with one of the women before his death, and there was considerable acrimony among the flatmates because he had previously been in a relationship with the other woman as well.
Legal Action and Ongoing Investigation
The Hulimavu police have registered a case under Section 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against the two women flatmates based on the brother's complaint. This section deals specifically with abetment to suicide, indicating the serious nature of the allegations.
Police authorities have confirmed that they are actively investigating the claims made in the complaint. The case has drawn attention to the complexities of shared living arrangements in metropolitan cities like Bengaluru, where professionals from various backgrounds often cohabit.
As the investigation continues, many questions remain unanswered about the circumstances that led to this tragic outcome. The police are examining the nature of the relationships between the deceased and his flatmates and the exact sequence of events that culminated in the man's death.
