Afraid of facing his father after the car he was driving toppled, a 20-year-old law student committed suicide at his residence on Anekal Main Road in the wee hours of Monday.
According to Police, Kaushik, from Hosur, was a student of Alliance University. He & his friend Rahul had sustained minor injuries in the accident. Kaushik had expressed fear over facing his father’s wrath for having caused the accident before taking the extreme step.
The student had been staying in Hosur post the pandemic outbreak. On Sunday, he & his friends from Hosur visited Anekal & consumed alcohol. After the party, the group returned to Hosur, but Kaushik said he wanted to drink more. He drove back to Anekal ignoring his friends’ advice & took along his friend & neighbour Rahul.
Kaushik was driving his Mahindra XUV towards Anekal when he lost control of the vehicle — it toppled thrice around 8 pm. As Rahul & Kaushik did not suffer major injuries, locals arranged for auto & suggested they go to the hospital. However, the duo headed to Kaushik’s Anekal house.
Kaushik was not carrying the house keys & broke open the door to enter. While Rahul slept in the room, Kaushik slept in the hall. He later locked Rahul’s room from outside & hanged himself from the ceiling. Rahul, who woke up later, screamed for help realising he had been locked. Neighbours heard him & alerted police.
Anekal Police said they have registered a case of unnatural death. Kaushik’s father, a contractor, arrived in Anekal to receive his son’s body.
