A 23-year-old man, identified as Abhishek, died by suicide in the Attur area of Yelahanka New Town on April 9, prompting an ongoing police investigation into allegations of harassment, relationship distress, and prior complaints involving both families. Authorities have registered a case and are examining digital evidence and statements from those involved. According to police and preliminary reports, Abhishek was found dead by suicide at his residence in the Attur locality of Yelahanka New Town.

Investigators said he had been in contact with his girlfriend shortly before his death. During a video call, he reportedly informed her of his intention to die by suicide. Police have recovered screenshots of the call as part of the evidence. Officials also stated that messages sent prior to the incident and a suspected death note are being examined. Bengaluru Shocker: 19-Year-Old BTech Student Dies by Suicide After Jumping From 9th Floor of Hostel Building.

During the investigation, police found that the woman’s parents had earlier filed a complaint against Abhishek, alleging that he was following their daughter. The matter was later resolved at the police station after both families reached a compromise, officials said.

Police added that the situation had been considered settled at the time of the earlier intervention. Preliminary findings suggest that the woman had recently distanced herself from Abhishek.
