Bangalore: A contrite 23-yearold engineering dropout committed suicide on Thursday by jumping from his fourth-floor flat in Atishi Apartments in JP Nagar 5th Phase, after his parents reprimanded him for hiding the fact that he had given up on his studies.
Son of chartered accountant Ramesh, Rakshith R left behind a suicide note in which he profusely apologized to his parents for not going to college and wasting the money given for his studies. He asked his parents to “forgive” and “forget” him.
Rakshith joined BE (electrical and electronic) course at Jain Institute of Engineering in 2007. But he could not clear his second semester subjects to get into the next year.
The boy hid this fact from his parents, and for the next three years, continued to claim that he was attending college. He spent most of his time roaming around near his house and stopped going to college. Rakshith’s parents learnt about their son’s educational status a couple of days ago. They chided him and left for Udupi on Thursday. Rakshith, his sister and brotherin-law stayed back in the flat.
After his parents left the house in the morning, Rakshith jumped from the balcony, and died immediately after crashing to the ground. The body was taken to KIMS, where a post-mortem was conducted.
