A 26-year-old, who had finished his education in electronic engineering in Europe and had returned to India recently to start working, died allegedly after falling from the 16th floor of a building in Bengaluru.
Police said the man, identified as Nikshap, was living with his parents in Prince Town Apartments in Bengaluru's Shettihalli.
Nikshap's father, Kishore, said the 26-year-old called him at 5 am on Wednesday and told him he would return home soon. "However, around 8:30 am, our apartment association president, Ravi, called us and asked us to come to the ground floor. When we went down, we saw that our son, Nikshap, had fallen from the 16th floor of the apartment and died," he said.
Officers from the Bagalagunte Police Station visited the spot and registered a case.
Officials said they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death and Kishore has told them that Nikshap had been suffering from schizophrenia for a few years. The body has been sent to the Victoria Hospital for post-mortem.
