In a tragic incident reported from Mangaluru, a man along with his young son allegedly committed suicide by jumping off the Netravati bridge in the wee hours of Sunday (February 16).
The deceased has been identified as Gopalkrishna Rai (45) and his six-year-old son Aneesh Rai, residents of Baltila, Bantwal.
As per reports, Gopalkrishna had gone to attend a family programme to Konaje along with his wife and child. Thereafter, at around 4.30 am, Gopalkrishna took his son to Netravati bridge and jumped into the water.
In a death note recovered at the spot, Gopalkrishna is said to have written,
I have not slept for a week. I am committing a great sin by killing my son. Please forgive me.
He also reportedly wrote that he was leaving behind his wife Ashwini Rai and going away.
Domestic troubles are said to be the reason behind Rai taking the extreme step, sources said.
The car used by Rai is said to belong to one Thimappa Rai. Search is on to find the bodies. Mangaluru rural police have registered a case and investigation is on.

This is the same Netravati river where body of Cafe Coffee Day owner VG Siddhartha had been found last year. The body was then recovered by a group of fishermen from the river, quite far away from the bridge he was seen on last.

Blogging about Equal Rights for Men or writing about Gender Biased Laws is often looked upon as controversial, as many 'perceive' it Anti-Women. Due to this grey area - where we demand Equality in the true sense for all genders - most brands distance themselves from advertising on a portal like ours.
