Pune: A software engineer from Andhra Pradesh allegedly committed suicide by jumping off the terrace of a hotel in Pune’s Viman Nagar area over the lack of “job security" in the IT sector.
Twenty-five-year-old Gopikrishna Durgaprasad, who had worked in Delhi and Hyderabad earlier, joined an IT firm in Pune and came to the city only four days ago. His employer had put him up in the hotel, according to police.
“He wrote a suicide note before slashing his wrist and later jumped off the terrace of the four-storey hotel on Wednesday," an officer said.
“In IT, there is no job security. I am scared that I may not look after my family properly. Please take care of my family. I am worried about future, as we are not that strong," read the suicide note, purportedly written by Durgaprasad.
He was found spotted lying in a pool of blood at around 4 am by the staff of the hotel who alerted the police. The body was handed over to his relatives after postmortem.
