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.

A 32-year-old Dalit man was allegedly stripped and assaulted by a group of 13 youth in Karnataka's Vijayapura for reportedly touching a motorbike of an upper caste owner, police said on Monday.

"On a complaint by the Dalit victim (Kashinath Talwar), we have booked the 13 accused and investigating the incident, which occurred at Minajgi village near Talikoti on July 18," Vijayapura district Superintendent of Police Anupam Agarwal told reporters here.

"Though Talwar claimed that he touched the bike by mistake and pleaded for mercy, he said the accused severely thrashed him with sticks and footwear and took off his pants while he lay on the road haplessly," Agarwal said, citing from the victim's 2-page complaint in Kannada.

A video clip of the assault went viral on the social media and triggered outrage in the district against the upper caste accused, as the intervention by the victim's parents did not stop them from carrying the assault. Vijayapura is 524km northwest of Bengaluru.

Talwar's father Yankappa also alleged that he, his wife and their daughter were also attacked by the accused when they tried to rescue him from being brutally assaulted.

In a related development, two-three women in the village also filed a complaint with the police against Talwar for allegedly eve-teasing and 'flashing' before them.

"We have summoned Talwar to inquire about his conduct as the women alleged that he teased them, touched them inappropriately and exposed his private parts while they were washing clothes outside their houses," Agarwal said.

Bengaluru, May 3: Erection of barricades and drawing up of boxes or circles aimed at maintaining social distancing were seen in front of liquor shops in different parts of Karnataka on Sunday, a day ahead of their reopening after a gap of over 40-days, due to the lockdown.

Karnataka Excise Commissioner on Saturday had ordered that only CL-2 (retail shops) and CL-11C (state-run retail shops like Mysore Sales International Limited) would open from May 4.

It had permitted liquor sale liquor between 9 am and 7 pm only in areas that are outside COVID-19 containment zones.

Reports of barricades being erected to ensure that people stand in line and drawing of boxes or circles in front of shops to maintain social distancing in front of retail and MSIL shops have emerged from across the state, including the state capital.

Also reports about shop keepers doing special poojas outside liquor shops in Kolar and some even illuminating their outlets with lights from outside have surfaced from other parts of the state.

Meanwhile, officials were engaged in checking stocks ahead of the shops opening on Monday morning.

"We are making all preparations to ensure that government rules are followed. We also seek the cooperation of the people and police," the manager of a shop said.

Another said there may be a rush initially, after which things may get back to normal.

"We expect things to go on smoothly," he added.

Calling for number of customers to be limited to five at a time while ensuring that they maintain social distancing of not less than six feet distance, the order states that customers and the staff will have to wear masks and sanitizers should be used at the shops.

Only stand alone CL-2 and CL-11C shops are allowed to commence liquor sale and not those at malls and super markets, it said.

Officials in Bengaluru said liquor sale is prohibited in 26 containment zones in the city, while in other places rules that have been prescribed need to be followed.

In case of any violation, strict action would be taken, including imposing of penalty, they said.

There was pressure on the government to kick start economic activities, including allowing sale of liquor, to boost the state's finances as excise is the key area which generates revenue.

State Excise Minister H Nagesh had recently pegged the losses at Rs 60 crore per day because of closure of liquor shops, due to the lockdown.
