Police have opened a case treating the fall as a suspected suicide.

Overview

  • S Anantha Kumar, a finance staffer and Banashankari resident, was found on the grounds of Biocon’s Electronic City Phase II facility after an evening fall.
  • Police said he went to the cafeteria terrace around 5 p.m. and, prima facie, may have jumped or fallen from the building.

  • He was moved to Cauvery Hospital in Electronic City, where he was declared dead, and a case was registered at Parappana Agrahara Police Station.
