In a tragic incident in Saragur taluk, Mysuru, a farmer identified as HC Manjunath reportedly died by suicide on Thursday by jumping into the Nugu reservoir. The body was recovered by divers after he was reported missing.
Manjunath, a resident of Hanchipur village, is believed to have taken his own life due to ongoing health issues and unpaid loans. His family, who reported his disappearance late on Thursday, mentioned that he had been suffering from chest and stomach pain recently.
The family also indicated that financial stress, coupled with his health problems, may have contributed to his decision. Manjunath had been living with his parents and wife. A formal complaint has been lodged at the Saragur police station, and investigations are underway.
