BENGALURU: A 30-year-old software engineer allegedly killed himself by jumping from the 12th-floor corridor of his apartment complex near Kudlu over health issues and losses in his startup business.
Mayank Rajani had moved to Bengaluru from Lucknow in 2018 and worked in a software company near his house, his father Manohar Lal said his complaint to Parappana Agrahara police.

Rajani, who stayed in the 12th floor of his apartment complex on Haralur Road, had undergone spinal cord surgery and suffered from pain for which he was under medication. He occasionally experienced mental distress. He was living with another software engineer and both families were aware of it.
On March 4, Manohar’s family received a phone call from police informing them that Rajani jumped to his death from the apartment around 6am. His girlfriend was sleeping in the bedroom when the incident happened. The security guard, who rushed to the spot after hearing the thud, found Rajani in a pool of blood.
Manohar and his family reached Bengaluru by evening and filed a complaint stating that they did not suspect anyone behind Rajani’s death. A senior police officer said Rajani also sustained a loss in his startup business in which he had invested his savings and the money he borrowed from his family.
“Family members say he ended his life over setbacks he faced on his health and business fronts. We have taken up the case of unnatural death and are investigating,” the officer added.
