The Viveknagar police have registered an Unnatural Death Report and are investigating the claims, including reviewing his medical records.
A 27-year-old man from Tripura died by suicide in Ejipura, Bengaluru, after allegedly sustaining irreversible injuries to his private parts during an assault by acquaintances. The deceased, identified as Tapan Nath, was found hanging in his rented room in the Ejipura area on Sunday night, July 12. Nath, who worked at a craft beer and international bar in Koramangala, did not report for his shift on Sunday.

Allegations of Prior Assault
Family members and friends have reported that the tragedy stemmed from a violent incident that occurred three to four months prior. According to statements provided to the police, Nath was attending a party with friends when an argument broke out under the influence of alcohol. During the altercation, Nath was allegedly assaulted and struck in his private parts, resulting in severe injuries. Fearing social stigma, Nath initially kept the incident quiet and sought private medical treatment. His family alleges that medical professionals later informed him that the damage was irreversible and had affected his ability to father children. They claim this diagnosis caused Nath to slip into a deep depression, which they believe ultimately led to his suicide. Bengaluru Shocker: PG Owner Beaten to Death After Dispute Over Water Tap Use.
