Davangere, July 03: Depressed over not getting a job despite being the graduate, a youth committed suicide by hanging himself to a tree at his field at Hosanagar village in channagiri on Tuesday after sending a 30 seconds WhatsApp video message to Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy.

The deceased is identified as graduate B Anil (21).

He is the last son among three sons of Babu Nayak and Geeta Bai. Anil was supposed to go to Dharwad on July 4 for competitive exams. Though he was confident of getting the government job through competitive exams, the poverty of his family was a big problem to him. Depressed over this, he has gone to his field today morning.

Sitting under a tree, he recorded a 30 seconds video and sent it to CM H D Kumaraswamy. In his video, he asked the CM to eradicate unemployment and find a permanent solution to the poor and rural graduates and respond to his appeal. Later he sent the video to his relatives and friends.

In his one page death note, he said that both central and state governments have not been creating job opportunities. As a result, poor and rural graduates were suffering due to lack of job opportunities, he said in the death note and committed suicide.
