Pune: His roommates were alerted about his suicide by one of their friend, police said. "His roommates received a call from a Abhishek's friend, who told them that he was committing suicide. Roommates then entered the bedroom through a window and found him hanging from the ceiling fan. He was then rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was declared brought dead," the officer added.
Police believe Mr Kumar might have sent a message or a photo to his friend before committing suicide. "We have not received any suicide note from the spot, however, primary investigations have revealed that he was depressed after his break-up with a girl. We are yet to record statements of his roommates and his cellphone is yet to be checked," the police officer said.
His body was handed over to his parents after post-mortem.
This is the second death of a techie working in Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park in Hinjewadi in days. On January 29, K Rasila Raju, a systems engineer from Kerala, was found murdered by a security guard on the premises of her company.
