Mandya: A tempo driver was found hanging inside his vehicle on June 8 at the Chikka Mandya village here. The villagers suspect that he might have committed suicide.

The deceased has been identified as Karthik (25), grandson of Late Rajanna. Though Karthik’s parents live in Keragodu village, he was residing at his grandparents’ house in the Chikka Mandya, sources said.

For the past 5 months, Karthik was driving the tempo for a travels agency in Mandya. After completing the day’s work, he used to park the vehicle at Chikka Mandya.

On June 7, Karthik had stopped his vehicle as usual in Chikka Mandya. He talked with his friends until midnight. When friends left for home, he had reportedly informed them that he would be sleeping in the tempo.

However, on next day on June 7, Karthik did not answer phone calls made by the owner of the tempo. Two of the employees enquired about his whereabouts at his home. When they searched the tempo, they found Karthik hanging from the roof of the vehicle.

At the same time, Karthik’s parents suspect foul play in the death. In their complaint, they claimed that their son did not have any reason to take such a drastic step. They have raised a suspicion that their son might have been murdered for unknown reasons.

Police have registered a case of unnatural death and further investigations are underway.
