It’s a question that’s been on everybody’s lips since IAS officer DK Ravi was found hanging in his Bengaluru apartment 10 days ago: There are many type of opinion behind his death.
The Opposition says 35-year-old Ravi was killed because he took on the state’s building and sand lobbies while police and post-mortem reports indicate he killed himself for personal reasons. Documents shows he was distress with family colleague which he knows from six years
The documents are a part of official records and procured with the help of sources in Bengaluru police.
Transcripts of WhatsApp messages Ravi sent on March 15 and 16--the day of his death--indicate he was in love with a married female IAS officer and committed suicide when his overtures went unanswered. Ravi wanted to meet Baby. He had desire to meet and kiss her as he said in last message Ravi’s last message to her at 11.05am on the day of his death opens with, "Ley Baby, I think this is the last message from me."
"My last wish is to see you and kiss you but that will not be satisfied. And hence I expect you to come as soon as you hear [about] my demise and look at me if possible hug me. Kiss me and pray to god Shiva to give me peace!!!" the message concludes. His family refused to comment on the messages.
The case ignited violent protests across the state with a united opposition demanding a central probe, saying Ravi was killed for raiding politically-connected builders. His family sat in protest outside the state assembly as thousands demonstrated against the government.
The IAS officer’s WhatsApp messages also indicate he did not decide to take his life on the spur of the moment.
"Today will be most notorious day where [I] will take some nasty decision. I hope you guide me properly, will wait up to 9pm for your call and invitation," says a message sent by Ravi at 4.25pm on March 15.
"I found it strange. At first I distanced myself but he was apologetic and requested we be the good friends that we have been. In the last few days, his behaviour was inconsistent. I informed my husband about this and we decided to ignore the guy," her statement says.
She added that he was restless after he was transferred to the commercial taxes department where he felt he did not have enough work.
A post-mortem report last week strengthened the suicide theory when it found no signs of external injury. "Death is due to asphyxia as a result of hanging,” it said.
