Bengaluru, 16: Senior kabaddi coach Rudrappa V Hosamani, who was recently suspended for allegedly molesting a 13-year-old girl at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) centre in north Bengaluru, has hanged himself in a hotel room here. The incident came to light yesterday when police broke open the door of the hotel room.

Hosamani, 59, who was with the SAI Training Centre (STC) in Bengaluru, was suspended last week following an internal inquiry. He reportedly checked into a hotel in Harihar town in Davanagere on Sunday. Realising that Hosamani had not stepped out ever since he checked in, hotel staff suspected foul play and informed the police, who broke open the door and found the body.

Hosamani left behind a note addressed to his wife Devika and son Rakesh, his close relatives and friends. “He apologised to them for what he did. He said he was helpless. He asked his son to look after Devika and to donate his body,” a police source said. “The suicide note said, ‘Ammanannu channagi nodiko, nanage tumba novagide, aada karana... kshamisi bidi (look after your mother well, I am hurt, that is the reason… forgive me)’.”

Hosamani’s body was handed over to his relatives after a post-mortem was conducted at the Harihar Government Hospital on Monday.

The alleged incident of molestation took place on October 9 in the girls’ dressing room near the kabaddi arena at the Sports Authority of India campus. The girl raised an alarm and ran out of the dressing room. She then informed her family who later confronted and manhandled Hosamani.

On October 10, SAI authorities directed their internal committee to probe the issue and question Hosamani before placing him under suspension. They filed a complaint with the Jnanabharati police who registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act.

Mangaluru, Mar 30: In continuing cases of tipplers in the southern states ending their lives due to non-availability of liquor during the lockdown, two men committed suicide in Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada district.

The two suicides were reported in Kadaba taluk on Saturday, police said.

Tomy Thomas (50), a rubber tapping labourer in an estate at Kutrupadi village of the taluk, was found hanging at his rented house on Saturday. Thomas, a native of Kottayam in Kerala, had joined at the estate here a month ago.

Local people said he was desperately moving around in the last few days asking about places where he can get liquor. He had also not reported to work in these days. The body has been kept at the mortuary of a hospital at Deralakatte.

In another incident, a 70-year old man, belonging to Kodimbala village in the taluk, allegedly hanged himself from the branch of a tree near his house at Nakur.

The deceased has been identified as Thomas, who had left his family here 30 years ago and had been working in Kerala. He had returned here only a few years back.

Sources said Thomas, an alcohol addict, was having health problems related to withdrawal. He has been living on pavements at Kadaba without going home.

Kadaba police has registered cases in connection with the two incidents.

Incidents of tipplers committing suicide have been reported in Kerala and Telangana in the past few days. Two men ended their lives in Kerala today while a 50-year old daily wage worker jumped to death from a building in Hyderabad on Friday.
