On Wednesday night, he went out of the house after dinner. His family members assumed that he went to his grandmother's house which is close by, as he would often go there at night. Hence, even when he did not return home the next morning, no search was conducted.
The incident came to light when Dheeraj's uncle Krishna went to the nearby well to fetch water. When he looked down into the well, he saw a body. He immediately called out to Suresh, who recognized the body as that of his son.
The police were then informed and Dheeraj's body was retrieved from the well.
It is learnt that Dheeraj left behind a death note in which he said that he was taking the extreme step as he was unable to find a job.
