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.

Bengaluru, May 20: Karnataka Congress leaders held a protest against the state government against amending of APMC Act, at the premises of Vidhan Soudha here.

Few days ago, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa had said that the new amendment in the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act will substantially aid the farmers in getting remunerative price for their produce.

"Amendment will not dilute the powers of the work of the APMCs. All these marketing activities will be monitored by the Directorate of State APMC. This new amendment Act will benefit farmers in improving their income & suffering from losses due to market fluctuations," the Karnataka CM tweeted.

Yediyurappa further said that the amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022.

"This amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022. I want to clarify that we have not removed the APMC Act, we are only amending 2 sections of the APMC Act which enable farmers to sell their produce at the markets where they intend to," he tweeted.
