Bangalore: The body of a 25-year-old man was found early Sunday with his head crus­hed under the wheels of a train as he had laid down on the tracks near Lotte­gallahalli bridge in Yesh­wanthpur railway police limits, to commit suicide.

The man has been identified as Manikanta, from Anekal. He has been residing in Bengaluru for the past 5 years.

Police said he lived in a shed in Abbigere near Peenya and used to assist people directing low-budget short films.

An orphan, Manikanta was reportedly unmarried and his closest relatives are said to be in Anekal.

A few days ago, he allegedly sent a text message to his landlord, Ramu, saying he had been unable to pay rent for the past 2 months owing to a shoulder injury sustained in an accident.

He also reportedly said he did not feel like “showing his face” to Ramu, but promised to come up with the money soon.

However, the police suspect Manikanta decided to kill himself and lay down on the tracks in Yeshwan­th­pur near Lottegallahalli bridge on Saturday night.

His body was found early on Sunday morning by passers-by, who infor­med the railway police.

The police managed to establish Manikanta’s identity by dialling a few numbers on his cellphone. No death note was found at the spot or in his house, they said.

“It appears Manikanta was a sensitive soul. We found a journal of sorts in his room, in which he had penned his dreams of becoming a movie star.

He had not written a suicide note or even written about any problems he was facing, however, leading us to believe that financial difficulties caused him to take his own life,” the police explained.

Manikanta’s body was sent to M S Ramaiah hospital for the post-mortem, following which it was to be handed over to his relatives in Anekal.

A case has been registered by the Yesh­wanthpur railway police, who are looking into the matter.
