30-year-old techie with 70K monthly salary hangs himself over Rs 1.5 lakh loan

Bengaluru, Oct 31: A 30-year-old software engineer allegedly committed suicide by hanging from the ceiling of his paying guest accommodation at Neeladri Layout near Electronics City, southeast Bengaluru, on Monday evening.

K Settu Kumar from Chennai was an employee of a leading IT firm in Electronics City. He is suspected to have taken the extreme step as he was saddled with loans totalling Rs 1.5 lakh, police quoted his father, Kumar, as saying.

“Settu’s monthly salary was over Rs 70,000 and it’s hard to believe that a Rs 1.5 lakh loan prompted him to end life. We’ve found six credit cards in his wallet and will verify how much he had spent using them. We’ve not found any suicide note,” a police officer said.

Settu moved to Bengaluru a year ago and was staying at Raghavendra PG in Neeladri Layout with two friends. On Monday, he told his roommates that he had taken leave and stayed back at home.

When his roommates returned from work at 7.30pm, the door was locked. They then peeped through the window and found Settu hanging.

The body was shifted to St. John’s Medical College Hospital. Settu had called his father and mother over phone around 2pm on Monday. “However, he didn’t give any indication about being upset over something,” police added.

Six credit cards..! He enjoyed life with loan money

Is he took loan from local money lender cum goonda..?

Just wasted life in tension. Poor techie

Is he 'mentally sick'..! he can repay easy withinn three months or he can arrange money with the surety of his jog

Some other reason might be there for the extreme step

I have one friend. But he is still managing. He has many loans. He used to get scolded everyday. He is such a rare guy like vijay mallya and nirav modi
