Pradeep took the 7.15 am Kingfisher flight from Bangalore and landed in the city on Wednesday morning. After sending copies of his suicide note to three mail ids of the Karnataka police and to his relative, Santosh, at 9.35 am, he went to the Sri Shyam Mandir located opposite the Kacheguda police station. âPradeep deposited his slippers in the stand and took a token. He went inside the temple and offered prayers to all the deities and collapsed while proceeding towards the place where devotees wash their hands,â Kacheguda police sub-inspector A Sai Reddy said quoting eye-witnesses. On information, police and staff of 108 Emergency Service, which has a static point at the railway station, rushed to the temple but found him dead by that time. âPradeep might have consumed some poison to end his life,â Sai Reddy said. With the help of phone numbers available with Pradeep, police got in touch with the software engineerâs sister, who is presently in Bangalore for her delivery. Pradeepâs brother-in-law, M R Santosh, works with ITC and is a resident of Marredpally. Pradeepâs brother-in-law Santosh saw the mail after reaching office. Around the same time, his wife called him to inform him that Pradeep was found dead at Sri Shyam Mandir,â police said. In his five paragraph e-mail to the police and Santosh, Pradeep said that no one was responsible for his death and it was his own decision to end his life. âNo one has influenced me to do so this. I am fed up with my life and just eager to see what lies behind the curtain of death. I am not a coward. Itâs my decision to end my life in the way I have decided,â he said. Pradeep further added: âFather, Mother, I am sorry. I didnât meet your expectations. Please forgive me and I was not able to finish all my responsibilities. I am leaving them halfway. Hope Santosh mama will fulfill them and takes care of you people.â Pradeep further added that he took the decision as he could not âdie dailyâ and wanted to put an end to his agony âonce and for allâ. âI have lost all hope on God, faith and life. There is nothing left in my life. Let everyone be happy in their life (sic),â he wrote. Pradeep, as a last wish, wanted his personal belongings, which he had packed and kept in the cupboard of his house, to be burnt along with his pyre.â His last words were âGoodbye, selfish worldâ. âWe are in a state of shock and cannot understand the reasons behind his (Pradeepâs) step,â Santosh said. Police said Pradeep was decently placed in his job but he might have had some personal problems which he did not mention in the note. |
