Mangaluru: A car was found abandoned on the bridge across River Nethravathi on the national highway at Ullal on Monday, giving rise to the suspicion that the driver had committed suicide by jumping off the bridge.
When the locals who found the car checked inside the vehicle, they found the identity cards of a person from Chikkamagaluru district. The keys of the car too were found inside, but the identity of the driver as well as the possibility of an act of suicide by the driver is yet to be ascertained.
Using a second identity card and contact details found in the car, the locals called up the family of the driver and informed the relatives of the matter. Further information on the matter will be received and doubts cleared once the family members arrive on the spot, said the Kankanady Police officials, who visited Ullal.
