Mangaluru: In a tragic incident reported in the city on Tuesday, a 20-year-old student committed suicide by hanging himself at his PG after leaving a note citing the rejection of his project work by his professor, as the reason behind his move to end his life.
The deceased has been identified as Bharath (20), a resident of Kumaraswamy Layout, Bengaluru. Bharath was reportedly pursuing his Hotel Management degree in Mangaluru.
Reports also added that he had called his mother in Bengaluru before committing suicide but the mother could not take his call.
The death note alleged that a professor discarded his project work from the valuation and refused to let him take his exams, due to which he committed suicide.
The family of the deceased arrived in the city from Bengaluru on Wednesday and registered a complaint at Urwa Police Station demanding justice for their son and strict action against those found guilty for abetment of Bharath's suicide.
Further investigations into the matter are underway.
