Kundapur, Jul 9: A man allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself at Bisinapare, Jadkal near Kollur late night on Friday, July 8.

Jarish Joseph (34) from Bisinapare is the person deceased.

Jarish Joseph was an agriculturist and stayed with his parents. He was scheduled to get married next month. He was known to be a soft spoken person and did not have enmity with anyone, sources said. Jarish was the 6th among 12 children of Kevin Joseph and Mary.

The body was found by a rickshaw driver on Saturday morning near the roadside at Bisinapare. Going by the position of the gun near the body, it is suspected that he pointed the gun at his mouth and pressed the trigger to end his life.

In a suicide note found in his pocket, he stated that he alone was responsible for his death, and that he was taking the extreme step as he was haunted by a mistake he had committed 15 years ago. "Forgive me for the mistake I committed 15 years ago. No one should feel sad. Death alone is the punishment for the sin I committed. Forgive me," the death note stated. 

Forensic experts, Kundapur DySP Manjunath Shetty, Byndoor circle inspector Sudarshan, Kollur station inspector and other police personnel visited the place.

Byndoor MLA Gopal Poojary visited the house of the deceased and offered condolences to the bereaved family.
