Puttur, Dec 15: In a devastating turn of events, a young scientist employed with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) took his own life in Kallarpe, Aryapu village. The incident was discovered on Thursday December 14.

The deceased, Bharat Kallarpe (24), was a local resident and had been working on a temporary basis at DRDO in Hyderabad for the past two months.

Bharat had returned to his native place just a week ago. Despite his resignation, it is reported that the organization had not accepted it. On Wednesday night, Bharat received a call from his employer. Tragically, he hanged himself later in the night after concluding the phone conversation with a representative from his company.

Bharat is survived by his father, a journalist brother named Ganesh Kallarpe, and a sister.

A case has been registered in the rural police station.
