Head constable commits suicide, blames wife and father-in-law in death note

BENGALURU: A head constable attached to the Hulimavu police station committed suicide by jumping in front of a moving train at Baiyappanahalli railway station on Friday night. He left behind a suicide note alleging that his wife and father-in-law are the cause for his death.

The deceased has been identified as Tippanna, a resident of Nagapura who was working as a head constable at the Hulimavu police station in Byappanahalli. In his death note, Tippanna stated, “I’m committing suicide due to the harassment by my wife and her father Yamunappa. He has been threatening me on December 12, at 7.16 pm he spoke for 14.25 seconds, from the number 7…….25, using abusive language. When I called the next, he used abusive language and said that if I die, his daughter will be fine.”

Tippanna had married Parvathi four years ago. However, Parvathi would often quarrel with Tippanna’s parents when they visited their house. She would use abusive language and insult them and this would often lead to fights between the couple with Parvathi leaving for her parental home.

Recently, the couple had reached a compromise and Tippanna had brought Parvathi back home. Though married for four years, they didn’t have any children, and Parvathi’s parents would often blame Thippannana for this. This had deeply disturbed him.

Last night, he went to the railway station and committed suicide. His body has been shifted to the CV Raman Nagar hospital. A case has been registered at the Byappanahalli Railway police station.

Shankarappa, uncle of the deceased Tippanna, said, “The family didn’t inform us about their issues. Whenever Thippanna came to our village, he would visit our house. We weren’t aware of any issues between him and his wife. Recently, they had a fight, but they had sorted it out aong themselves. He had married a girl from a distant relative’s family. After marriage, they were living in Bengaluru. We don’t know why he committed suicide. We came to know about the incident only when the police called us in the morning.”
