Bangalore, Jun 10: A debt-ridden businessman ended his life by shooting himself in the chest in front of Taralabalu Kendra in R?T?Nagar police limits on Monday afternoon in Bangalore.

The deceased is Raghavendra (33), the eldest son of V Ramaiah, who retired as Deputy Commissioner of Police (Public Relations), Bangalore City, a year ago.

It is believed that he took the extreme step as he had suffered losses in business. He owned two trucks and operated them to transport sand. He was a partner in real estate and cement business with some of his friends.

Raghavendra pumped a single bullet into his chest with his father 's licensed revolver sitting in his car and died on the spot, police said. He would always carry his father 's revolver whenever he went to his farmhouse. Nobody in the family suspected when he went out with the weapon on Monday, as it was a routine affair.

Raghavendra had left four suicide notes addressed to his father, mother, wife and the RT?Nagar police inspector. In the letter to the inspector, he held himself responsible for the act and pleaded not to harass his family members for his act. He said he decided to take the extreme step due to a financial crisis, police said.

“It is a clear-cut case of suicide and there is no foul play,” DCP?(North) Sandeep Patil told Deccan Herald. A CCTV camera installed at the Taralabalu Kendra building captured the act.?The police would analyse the footage to ascertain how the incident took place, he said.

In the second letter addressed to his father, Raghavendra has apologised for his act.

He had borrowed Rs four lakh for his friend Umesh and Rs two lakh for himself. He found it difficult to repay the loans as his business did not progress as expected.

Two other letters were personal in nature as they were addressed to his mother and wife. Hence, the police did not open them and handed them over to the women, the DCP said.

All the four letters were word documents typed on a computer. He had given them to his car driver Manju, saying that the letters would be collected later. Manju handed over the letters to the police after the incident.

Raghavendra was married to Meena seven years ago and has two daughters. Earlier in the day, Raghavendra dressed up his daughters and sent them to school.

Clad in half-pants, he went out, informing Meena that he was going to a saloon. He sent a message to his friend?Madhu, using WhatsApp and requesting him to come near Taralabalu Kendra at 11 am.

He sent another message some time later, requesting him to be there by noon as he wanted to discuss a business issue.

He sent similar messages to a couple of his friends, said Raghavendra 's business partner.

“I called him up, but there was no reply. I contacted Madhu and we went there and noticed his car from a distance. It was parked on the roadside and his number was not reachable when we called,” he said.

They noticed him in the driver 's seat, leaning on the door. They grew suspicious as the doors were locked from inside. They then forced open the door. “We were shocked to see him in a pool of blood with injury marks on the chest. We rushed him to the hospital where he was declared brought dead,“ he said.

Thrissur, Feb 11: The latest test result of the woman medical student, who arrived here from China's Wuhan region and was the first positive case from India for the novel Coronavirus (nCoV), has come out negative, health officials said on Monday.

Her condition was "stable", they said.

According to the state health department as of now, 31 people are in isolation wards across various hospitals in the state.

"The blood test result of the first patient from Thrissur, from the National Institute of Virology (NIV) testing centre at Alappuzha, shows a negative result.

But we need confirmation from the NIV at Pune," a senior medical officer told news agency.

After the first positive case was reported from Thrissur, two other Keralite students from Wuhan, the epicentre of the virus, had tested positive in Alappuzha and Kasaragod districts.

The health department had earlier said those in isolation wards of various hospitals in the state have come down to 34.

"A total of 3,367 are under observation across the state, of which 3,336 are under home quarantine," a release issued by the health department said.

The department has already sent at least 364 samples for testing at the NIV at Pune and so far 337 results have returned negative.

The ''state calamity'' alert, which was declared on February 3, was withdrawn on Friday after no new positive cases of infection were detected.
