He later jumped in front of a train in his uniform and committed suicide.

His note said that he is taking his life as he cannot bear the mental harassment and requests his colleagues to collect his bike parked near a lake close to Huskur railway station. The police have registered a case and started an investigation into the incident. Thippanna's mother has filed a complaint with the police against Parvathy and her father.
