Udupi, Mar 2: In a tragic incident, the driver of a police vehicle ended his life by hanging himself from a tree near his house at Handadi Hosal near Barkur here on Monday March 2.
The deceased has been identified as Arun (35). He had been serving as a driver for the vehicle of Brahmavar circle inspector for the past one-and-a-half years.
It is said that for the past few months Arun was suffering from a serious illness and about two-and-a-half months ago he took leave from work and was staying home.
Sources said that the financial condition of his family was also not good, and that his father has been suffering from mental illness. All this had reportedly pushed him into depression.
Arun was unmarried. He was in the police department for the last 15 years and in 2012, he was transferred to Brahmavar police circle.
He leaves behind his parents and a sister.
