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.

Imphal (PTI): Manipur Home Minister Govindas Konthoujam on Tuesday said two persons were killed and five others injured in firing after a mob stormed a CRPF camp in Bishnupur district.
A large number of youths and women held a protest against the killing of two children in a bomb attack by suspected militants in Moirang Tronglaobi area earlier in the day, he said.
The protesters stormed the CRPF camp near Gelmol, a few 100 metres from the bomb attack site, burnt vehicles and vandalised properties there, he said.
"I had urged the protesters not to enter the CRPF camp and to allow security forces to focus on conducting an operation to apprehend those involved in the bomb attack," the minister said.
But the demonstrators did not pay heed to the appeal.
"They stormed the CRPF camp, burnt vehicles and vandalised portions of the camp, leading to firing by security personnel. They fired either in self-defence or in anger. Two persons, unfortunately, died in the firing, while five others sustained bullet injuries," the state home minister said.
