Dejected by breakup with lover, Ullal man commits suicide in Oman
Ullal: A 32-year-old man from Someshwara, who was working in Oman, allegedly committed suicide recently by hanging himself in Oman after a young woman he had been in love with suddenly started spurning his love proposals.
The deceased is identified as Puneeth Poojary, son of Chandra and Deepa, residents of Someshwara. Poojary is said to have been working in Oman for one-and-a-half years now. He had visited his native place one-and-a-half months ago, before returning to work in Oman.
Poojary was reportedly in love with a young woman from Urwa for four years now, but the woman had stopped responding to his calls and messages recently.
Apparently upset by the sudden rejection of his love, Poojary recorded a video clip and, having uploaded it on social media, allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself.
He is survived by his parents, a brother and a sister.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)
