Hindustan Aeronautics Limited engineer ends life

BANGALORE: Depressed at being diagnosed as a diabetic, a 29-year-old mechanical engineer of HAL hanged himself at his JP Nagar residence on Monday morning.
HM Mallikarjun, a resident of Rajiv Gandhi Road in JP Nagar VI Phase, committed suicide when his wife KV Mahima was having a bath. "The couple had been married for two years and had no children. Last week, doctors diagnosed him as diabetic," JP Nagar police said.
Mallikarjun went under depression and didn't attend office regularly, police said. "Around 10am, Mahima entered the room and found him hanging. There was no suicide note," police added.
Elsewhere, in JP Nagar I Phase, a 23-year-old computer hardware professional hanged himself at home on Sunday morning. K Sridhar Holla, a native of Kukke Subramanya in Dakshina Kannada district, came to the city last November and joined a computer hardware company.
According to the police, Sridhar's mother called him several times on Sunday morning but there was no response. She called her elder daughter Madhura Holla who stayed at a PG accommodation in Mathikere to check what had happened. "Madhura arrived around 3.30pm and the house was locked from inside. With neighbours' help, she broke open the door and found Sridhar hanging from the ceiling fan. He left behind a suicide note, which read 'I am responsible for my death'," police said. They're yet to establish what drove Sridhar to suicide.
