Who Was Kiran? Bengaluru Bodybuilder’s Death By Suicide Linked To Girlfriend’s Engagement, Police Probe Underway

A 26-year-old body builder in Bengaluru committed suicide upon hearing that his girlfriend was getting married without his consent. The accident took place in the Mahalakshmi Layout district where the young man named Kiran was living together with his family. Kiran allegedly spent three years in a relationship with the woman, a fact that made him so distraught by the sudden announcement of her engagement. Upon learning of her forthcoming marriage, he went home looking upset and trapped himself in his room where he was eventually discovered hanging by his family members.

His failure to step out of his room caused his family to break down the door and find his body. The police were called to the scene and the body of Kiran was later taken to the post mortem test. The police in Bengaluru have also retrieved a death note in the room, and are probing into the different facets of the case, which prompted him to make a tragic decision. The police are attempting to reconstruct the incidents that led to the suicide and whether there were other reasons that could have been behind his emotional trauma.
