    RIP!! These days private bus operators are having a tough time garnering business on long distance routes after KSRTC offered free travel to women; IMHO, probably financial breakdown/outstanding loans might be the reason for his suicide decision! BTW; though the froth on top looks hunky dory, the ground level situation for most MSME businesses is very tight after demo, GST, and unplanned lockdown, unprecedented inflation, which, unfortunately, is never spoken about in the mainstream media!

    I'm really sorry to hear about the young owner's passing and the tragedy of suicide. It's indeed a sensitive and complex issue. Please accept my deepest condolences for this loss. If you or anyone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, it's important to reach out to a mental health professional or a support hotline. There is help available, and people don't have to go through this alone.

    It’s really a tragedy. May his soul rest in peace. Condolences to the whole family. Specially to Mr Jayaram Sheikh whom I know for the last several years. Suicide is not the solution for any problem. Let the Lord give the strength to come over the grieving family members
