Udupi: Frustrated by lockdown, 42-year-old auto rickshaw driver ends life


Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (SP)

Udupi, May 11: Overwhelmed by his health problems and the problems created by the lockdown imposed in the state for 14 days, an auto rickshaw driver here ended his life on Monday May 10.

Yatiraj (42), was the auto rickshaw driver who decided to die by suicide. He was in dire straits on account of the lockdown that has robbed people of their livelihoods. Yatiraj hanged himself at his native place, Bailoor in Badagabettu here.

It is learnt that Yatiraj was a liquor addict and was suffering from liver complications for about a year. He was treated in a private hospital here for this problem but the health problem persisted. Out of worry and tension about his life struggle and health issues, he hanged himself between 8.30 and 11.45 am on Monday May 10, the police said.

A case in this regard was registered at the town police station here. It is learnt that the lockdown restrictions came as a bolt from the blue for the auto rickshaw driver, who was already surrounded with problems.

    Self created problems due to liquor addiction.Its very convenient to blame the government for everything these days.We the citizens are equally to be blamed for the crisis. How many of us continued to wear a mask after November 2020? People crowded everywhere be it places of worship, beaches, malls,hotels, weddings...Even today on day two of lockdown people are loitering on the streets.

    Most of the Indians (middle class) have short term memory.... and very gullible... couple of sweet talks and white lies from the master of lies.... they will be back to square one.... and vote for religion agenda.... educated are benefited in or the other way that's why they follow the lier... otherwise they know they will be subject to consequences.... Lot of middle class is pushed towards poverty..... if they don't realize the situation.... then it will never be....

    People are dying due to Corona infection and till the last moment they cry and hope someone to help them to save their lives and some commits suicide because of health problems. Half of countries population is going through tough times in life or family. Killing will increase hardships to the surviving fly members.
