He was  a B.Com graduate and skilled at doing electrician’s work and owns a truck, the same has been hired to a friend.

Ravi, who had the habit of chatting during his spare time through Facebook, came across a girl, who was believed to be from Puttur, working for private company in Bangalore three years back.

During the period since he got to know this girl through Facebook, Ravi might have doled out nearly 13 to 14 lac to her account.

Ravi, who tried to commit suicide by the roadside at Nelyady in the taluk a few days ago, was admitted into a hospital in Puttur. Seeing his condition, someone had called 108 ambulance service, which in turn, brought him to the hospital here. When questioned about the reason for ending his life, he said he is unemployed now, and had failed to bag a job. “I had visited Mangalore and stayed in a friend’s room.

But there too I did not get a proper job. I boarded a bus to Bangalore. When I got down at Uppinangady, the bus went away. I did not have money to go home, and therefore decided to commit suicide,” he explained.
