Police said the doctor had married only a few months ago and moved into an apartment complex in Amruthahalli. PTI quoted Anoop A Shetty, deputy commissioner of police (Bengaluru north-east), as saying, "... at 5 am at a multi-story apartment in Amruthahalli we found the body... in the first floor. Prima facie it appears he fell from the 11th floor."

The doctor was understood to be pursuing an advanced course in neurology at the Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute and was in his final year.

According to the Times of India, the doctor left a suicide note on a mobile phone. The note reportedly indicated health problems - specifically cardiac issues - and that he was taking this step since he didn't want to spoil his wife's future, and wished that she could find a healthier life partner.

DCP Shetty said family members had been informed. "We will take further steps after recording the statement of the family members," he said. The body has been taken for post-mortem.
