Mangaluru, Dec 10: A third year engineering student allegedly committed suicide in Moodbidri on Wednesday December 10 afternoon.
The deceased is Pavan Acharya, son of Vasudeva Acharya from Chikkamagaluru. He was a student of MV Shetty Engineering College in Thodar near Moodbidri.
As per details, Pavan who stayed in a rented house behind a house belonging to Shanthiprakash near Kerebasadi Gopalakrishna temple, was an introvert. He did not go to college on Wednesday.
The incident came to light when Pavan's neighbour Pratibha found that the mesh on the well was missing. She then discovered Pavan's body in the well. She called the police and fire services. But by that time Pavan was dead.
It is learnt that before jumping into the well, Pavan had tried to hang himself by using lungi.
As per reports, an issue concerning examinations had taken place some time back which might have prompted the deceased to take the extreme step.
Moodbidri police have registered the case and investigations are on.
