A man committed suicide by hanging himself at his residence in Thirumalahalli under Mulbagal police limits on Tuesday.

The police gave the name of the deceased as Gopal (42).

Allegedly Gopal, a farmer by profession, ended his life as he was depressed after hearing the news of the mysterious death of IAS officer D.K. Ravi.

However, no death note was found and the reason behind the suicide is yet to be ascertained, Mulbagal sub-inspector of police Shankar told The Hindu.
