Mangaluru, Feb 8: In a tragic incident, two siblings in their early twenties allegedly ended their lives by hanging themselves at a village near the border between Dakshina Kannada and Kasaragod.
Nagesh (24) and his younger brother Umesh (22) were found hanging from two separate trees near their house at Pertaje, Perla which falls under Kasaragod district. Both were daily wage workers. Their father Shivaram died last year.
While one used a rope to hang himself another one used a piece of cloth. It is suspected that they might have resorted to the extreme step on Sunday night. However, the incident came to light only on Monday morning.
It is learnt that on Sunday the duo had attended a programme in Bajekudlu village and then returned home. In the night the elder left home saying he was going to Perla. After sometime the younger brother also left the home.
As the bothers did not return home time morning, the family members grew suspicious and began to search for them. After sometime one of the villagers noticed the two bodies hanging from trees.
The brothers are survived by mother Saraswati and younger brother Harish. The police said that even though it looks like a case of suicide, the exact reason for the extreme steps by the brothers is not yet known.
The bodies have been sent for post-mortem. A case has been registered at Badiadka police and investigations are on.
