Mangaluru, Apr 29: A tragic incident unfolded in Kumpala Hanuman Nagar near Ullal as a man, a father of two children, took his own life. Locals intervened to save his wife, who also attempted suicide following her husband's actions. Financial constraints are believed to be the reason behind this extreme act.

The deceased, identified as Yogish (44), was a resident of Kumpala Hanuman Nagar and worked in centering. He hanged himself from a wooden log on the roof of the washroom adjacent to his house.

Yogish was a member of a self-help group and reportedly spent Rs 40,000 from the group without depositing it in the bank. On Sunday morning, other members of the group visited Yogish's residence and urged him to deposit the Rs 40,000 in the bank. It is believed that Yogish ended his life out of shame.

Ullal police shifted Yogish's body for post-mortem and registered a case. Meanwhile, Yogish's wife also attempted suicide. However, locals present at the scene prevented her from harming herself and provided comfort. Yogish is survived by his wife, two young sons, and his mother.
