A 28-year-old software engineer committed suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling at his home in Nagawarapalya, Baiyappanahalli on Monday night.
The police said that Balaji, a native of Andhra Pradesh, was working with a well-known software firm in Bellandur. He was married to Manjula, an employee with a pharmaceutical company, one-and-a-half-years ago. On Monday evening, Manjula returned home from work and found the house locked from inside. She knocked on the door but there was no response. The neighbours, who came to her help, peeped through the window and found Balaji hanging from the ceiling. They informed the police, who broke open the door and shifted his body for post-mortem.
The family told the police that Balaji was upset over some domestic problem which may have driven to the extreme step. A case has been registered at the Baiyappanahalli police station.
