Udupi, Dec 2: A young and emerging Yakshagana artiste ended his life on the railway track near Indrali on Tuesday December 1.

The deceased, identified as Chandrakanth Shetty (30), a resident of Kaltodu, was reportedly depressed.

It is said that Chandrakant had been serving as Yakshagana artiste from some years in Goligarai and Sigandur fairs. He had also agreed to serve as an artiste at Ajriya Chonamane Sri Shanishwara Yakshagana fair, but this time he continued working at Sigandur fair.

On Monday November 30 night, he presented a Yakshagana show in Bengaluru and returned to Udupi. On Tuesday night, he committed suicide on the railway track near Indrali.

Sources said that Chandrakant, who had written a few Yakshangana episodes, was addicted to alcohol.

    Friends
    In this world the most sure thing is death. I do not know in which storm, God will make me to walk. My death maybe natural, accidental, murder or suicide, only HE knows. I cannot change HIS plan. In this connection, please read the story my grand mother told us:
    God's messenger visits a man and tells him, his impending death that day. Man is not ready since he has many things to do. But, messenger tells him, his name is on the top of the list which he shows him. The man tells him. he wants to have a good meal before dying and also invites messenger. Messenger, since is a busy person, he never took any rest and hence, agrees. This man gives a grand meal with sorpotel, mutton biryani, chicken kolhapuri along with Black Label. While messenger was taking a nap, this man takes the list inside and brings his name to the bottom of the list and keeps it back near messenger. Messenger after the nap, is so pleased with dine, wine and hospitality that, he tells him "as a gesture of goodwill, I have decided to carry on the order from the bottom of the list."

    " Sources said that Chandrakant, who had written a few Yakshangana episodes, was addicted to alcohol " Why you would like to bring alcohol in his suicide..?? I don't think it is a suicide. Better to go into detailed investigation. RIP Shetty
