CHENNAI: P Reshma, the 24-year-old software engineer who jumped to her death from the 10th floor of an IT park in Taramani on Wednesday night, apparently told her parents that she was depressed due to the hectic work pressure.

The native of Aluva in Kerala joined Visual Graphics Computing Services India Private Ltd at Ascendas IT Park as request receiver in September last after completing her studies in Bangalore. The youngest daughter of Pushparakaran and Rejini of Aluva, Reshma stayed in a women’s hostel in Velachery. “She spoke to us a day before she committed suicide and complained of work pressure,” her brother Randeep said.

Family members said they asked her to return if she was not satisfied with the job, but said she wanted to stay back as she dreamt of being employed.

A colleague told police that she cried almost every night complaining of suicidal tendencies. The Taramani police said Reshma left behind four different suicide notes to her parents, brother and sister Remitha claiming that nobody was responsible for her death and she didn’t want to live anymore as she was lonely.

Most employees of her firm refused to comment.
