Dejected over failure of the software he had developed, a techie ended his life in S.R. Nagar on Wednesday by inhaling nitrogen gas, stating that it was the easiest and painless method to kill oneself, the police said.
The body of Lucky Agarwal Gupta was found in his bedroom by his family members on Wednesday afternoon. They grew suspicious as he did not come out of his room till afternoon.
As he failed to respond to knocks on the door, they broke it open only to see him dead with a mask around his head .
A note purportedly written by the techie and found in the room stated: “I am committing suicide. This is the easy and painless method”. Gupta was an engineering graduate in Information Technology and recently developed a software after working for several months on it.
However, he slipped into depression as the software failed to get response in the market. “When he brought a nitrogen gas cylinder into the house recently, his parents thought it was part of another project he was working on,” S.R. Nagar Inspector Md. Waheeduddin said.
The techie used a plastic mask to cover his face and connected it with a chord to the cylinder.
“It seems he searched the Internet to find out easy methods for ending life and used this one, described as suicide bag,” the Inspector said.
