Bengaluru: An 18-year-old security guard was found dead near Varthur on Thursday, even as his family prepared for Dasara celebrations.
The police suspect suicide.
The deceased, identified as Ambarish Thapa, a native of Nepal, lived with his siblings in a rented house in eastern Bengaluru. He had arrived in the city a few months ago and was employed as a security guard.
The police said that Thapa stopped attending work after being paid for two months and spent much of his time on his phone.
They suspect his elder brother’s reprimand over excessive mobile use may have pushed him to take the extreme step.
The Varthur police have registered an Unnatural Death Report (UDR) and are investigating.
