According to police, the duo had gone near Kengeri for work and were on their way back to City Market when Das suddenly asked the auto driver to stop. Before the vehicle could come to a halt, Das reportedly leapt off the moving auto and plunged from the flyover, dying on the spot due to severe injuries, said a report by The Times of India.

Investigators suspect that personal or family issues may have driven him to take the drastic step. Officials are now awaiting statements from his wife and other family members, who are travelling from West Bengal.
