Techie Ends Life After Harassment Over Property Dispute in Bengaluru

A techie died by suicide at an under-construction building in Nallurhalli here allegedly due to harassment and monetary demands by two neighbours, police said on Thursday. 

In her complaint on Wednesday, Lakshmi Govindaraju stated that her son Murali, who was constructing a house on a site purchased in 2018, was repeatedly approached by Usha Nambiar and Shashi Nambiar, who allegedly demanded Rs 20 lakh



over a property dispute.

She further alleged that the duo, accompanied by some Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) personnel, visited the construction site and subjected Murali to mental harassment after he refused to pay. 

Govindaraju said Murali left home in the morning on December 3 and was later found hanging from a ceiling-hook at the second-floor level of the building.
