Bangalore : A 25-year-old employee of an IT firm in Karnataka's Mysore was found hanging from a fan in his rented house. This is the fifth case of a techie committing suicide in the last three months in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai.
Mohan Krishna had joined Infosys as a technical engineer three months ago at the firm's head office in Mysore. A note saying 'no one is responsible' has been recovered from the site. He also wrote: 'mom and dad, I am sorry for leaving you alone. Dad, please keep my phone with you, it will remind you of me.'
"He came home for Vinayaka Chaturti. I don't know what went so wrong that he took his own life." Krishnaiah, Mohan's father, said. His body has been sent for post-mortem and a case has been registered.
Admitting the trend of suicides among techies is worrying, companies say, not seeking help is one of the major reasons for the spate of suicides in the IT world.
"I can give you enough instances where after people have opened up to us in the firm we have taken cognizance and corrected projects, deputed them elsewhere so that they are closer to family. We have got into interventions with their family, etc.," says Rina M, an HR Consultant of a top IT firm in Bangalore.
She adds, "All organizations have a counselling body which has professionals who are trained to reach out and do this confidentially. To say that there is stress in the IT sector alone is wrong."
Experts also add the belief that confiding in colleagues about the trauma they are going through is wrongly seen as a weakness, thus stopping them from seeking help.
In a tragic case last year, a techie in Bangalore killed himself by wrapping tape around himself while sitting inside his new car. He died due to suffocation.
