Bangalore: The body of a 25-year-old man was found early Sunday with his head crusÂhed under the wheels of a train as he had laid down on the tracks near LotteÂgallahalli bridge in YeshÂwanthpur 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.
