A 20-year-old ITI student has allegedly committed suicide by hanging during a video call conversation with his girl friend apparently over "love failure," police said today.
A purported clip of the conversation has gone viral.
It shows the youngster hanging himself from the ceiling fan using a sari after a brief conversation wherein he is heard saying that he is ending his life and the girl telling him not to do so, they said.
Police said the incident might have taken place on the intervening night of March 13-14 at the rented house of the deceased A Sagar, here, they said.
The house owner noticed his body hanging from the ceiling fan yesterday, they said.
The deceased, a native of Rajanna-Sircilla district who stayed with his elder sister, was alone at home when the incident took place, Neredmet police station Inspector M Jagadish Chander said.
"He hanged himself during a video call with his girl friend," the officer said.
Alleged love failure seems to the reason for the extreme step.
However, no allegation has been made against anyone in the complaint lodged by his parents, he added.
